ACADEMIC PROGRAM

The Intensive Language Program is designed for beginning, intermediate, advanced and superior level students who want to quickly advance their Spanish skills over the course of one semester. There are no cultural electives offered within this program; students instead complete a series of intensive Spanish language courses. Students can expect to advance their Spanish a minimum of two levels during the semester. Each student’s language level is determined by a placement exam administered upon arrival by the University of Granada.

The fall semester and academic year early start programs include an intensive month in September for an additional 80 contact hours. The month of May is included for Spring extended program students, also for an additional 80 contact hours.

*Most academic year students ultimately choose to complete one semester of the Intensive Language Program and one semester the Spanish Language and Culture program OR the Hispanic Studies Program. Students who progress to the Spanish Language and Culture Program for the spring semester can choose their courses from the offerings on pages 68 and 69. As classes are not scheduled in January, students are free to travel or return home for the holidays. Housing in Granada during this period is not included in the program cost.
