ACADEMIC PROGRAM

This program is for advanced-level students interested in courses specifically targeted at international and Spanish communications concepts and practices. It is a great option for advanced and bilingual students, since students take courses with Spaniards in addition to their courses with other API students. The API-only courses are subject to a minimum enrollment requirement. Students take two courses with API students and two courses with Spaniards at the Facultad de Comunicaciones.

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Non-credit bearing internships (conducted in Spanish) are available to students in this program. Students are encouraged to contact the API office for more information.

TRANSCRIPTS

API students will receive a transcript from the University of Seville.
