After the orientation, students move into private homes. Living, eating, and interacting with a Spanish host family is an intense and delightful way to appreciate deeply-held customs and understand everyday modern behavior. It is also one of the best ways to make progress in language skills. All courses in the university catalogue are open to BCA students with sufficient language skills. BCA courses are taught in Spanish by regular university professors.
Students also attend regular university courses alongside native Spanish students.
All courses are subject to change. The following courses have been taken in the past years through Brethren Colleges Abroad at the University of Barcelona.
