CIEE Advanced Liberal Arts Program in Sevilla, Spain
Spain
- Seville:
Seville (Sevilla)
Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring
Dates: Fall 16 weeks: early September-late December; Spring 16 weeks: early January-late April; Academic Year- 31 weeks: early September- late April Academic Year 41 weeks: late Aug-late June/early July
Description:
The goals of the program are to enable students to achieve fluency in spoken and written Spanish and to pursue a wide variety of academic fields, gaining a deeper understanding of these fields from a Spanish perspective. These goals are reached through direct matriculation in university courses, the homestay program, local and overnight excursions, a conversational exchange program, volunteer opportunities, and independent study options. Academic Program
The CIEE Advanced Liberal Arts Program, founded in 1994, is designed for students with advanced Spanish language skills and a strong academic background. Students take the majority of their classes with Spanish students at the Universidad de Sevilla and/or the Universidad Pablo de Olavide, supplemented by a variety of courses offered by CIEE. Online Placement Exam
Prior to arrival in Seville, all students take the CIEE online placement exam. It is very important that all students take this exam during the scheduled exam dates. The purpose of this exam is to determine the student's level of Spanish so that he or she may be placed in appropriate language courses. Students should take this exam seriously as placement in many upper level courses depends upon a high online placement exam score. Academic Culture
Courses in law, geography, history, and philology meet in the Universidad de Sevilla's main building, known as the Tabacalera. Classes from the other schools meet at different campuses located around the city of Seville. Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO) classes are held on the UPO campus. All courses meet two times a week for 90 minutes or three times a week for 45 minutes. Classes are held Monday through Friday. Instruction is usually lecture style. Keep in mind that Spanish students begin to study in their area of concentration from the first day of their university career. They are specialists, not generalists. Spain does not have a liberal arts educational tradition and different degrees do not have survey type classes as in the United States. During the fall semester, exams take place through the end of January and early February. Students have a two-week break in between Christmas and January 6th (the holiday called Reyes). Fall semester classes continue immediately after Reyes. Students normally have two more weeks of class lectures before the final exam. All dates for exams are published early in the semester. During the spring semester, two vacation periods take place at the University: Semana Santa and Feria de Abril. The dates are not fixed, but students are normally free the week before Easter (Holy Week) and then again for one week approximately two weeks after Easter. Spring semester exams take place in June and sometimes in early July. Students enrolled for the fall semester should expect to stay in Seville until late January. Spring semester students should expect to stay in Seville until late June/early July. While CIEE students may request permission for early exams, CIEE does not guarantee approval of such requests by the University. Students from both the fall and spring semesters are required to review their exams (called a revisión) with their professors before leaving Seville so they know how well they performed and what grade to expect.
Highlights:
Direct enrollment in regular university courses, the absolute best way to meet Spanish students and improve your advanced Spanish
Weekly cultural activities and excursions throughout Seville and Andalusia
Opportunities to get involved with the local community through homestays and numerous volunteer opportunities
Classes offered in a wide variety of disciplines including history, languages, anthropology, Arabic studies, business, economics, and journalismCulture
Cultural Activities and Field Trips
The academic program is supplemented with excursions to points of interest in Seville and Spain. Field trips and visits highlight topics covered in class. Past excursions have included: Granada, Córdoba, and Extremadura. Every week students receive a newsletter, Noticias desde Sevilla, announcing program cultural activities and happenings around Seville. Cultural Reimbursement Program
CIEE reimburses participants for tickets purchased for theater, ballet, opera, and special events taking place in and around Seville. The goal of this program is to encourage students directly registered in the Spanish University to enjoy local cultural activities with Spanish peers in a Spanish environment. Immersion
Tertulia Series and Personal Development Workshops
Every semester, CIEE staff organize a series of informal lectures and workshops dedicated to personal development while living abroad. Staff organizes workshops dealing with a variety of themes such as culture shock, dating across cultures, eating well, stress management, organizational skills, and re-entry at the end of the semester. Intercambios
A conversation exchange program with native Spanish students is an important part of the program. Intercambios give students the chance to practice what they are learning in the language courses, as well as help them become more integrated into Spanish student life, and Sevillano life and culture. Community Involvement
Students have the opportunity to work with children and the elderly, as well as other humanitarian associations. Students may also become involved in international organizations such as Amnesty International. Volunteer teaching opportunities in local schools are also available for future teachers.
