Academic Program | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Liberal Arts program is located in the humanities faculty of the University of Sevilla. After a three-week intensive language course, students enroll in four courses taught in Spanish. Students earn between 15-18 credits. In addition to a range of courses offered by CIEE, students can enroll directly in courses at any of the schools at Universidad de Sevilla or Universidad Pablo de Olavide. From art history to service-learning, there’s plenty to inspire you. Prior to departure for Seville, all students take a scheduled CIEE online placement exam. Results determine appropriate placement in language courses. Placement in many upper-level courses depends on a high score. All courses are complemented with CIEE co-curricular activities and excursions beyond the city to enhance classroom learning and provide intercultural understanding. Please see the CIEE website for more course information. |
