Arcadia University: Fundacion Jose Ortega y Gasset

  Spain
  • All Other Areas: 
  • Toledo

Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring 
Dates: Sept-Dec; Jan-May; Sept-May

Description: The Arcadia University Center for Education Abroad can help you achieve an incomparable study abroad experience at the Fundacion Jose Ortega y Gasset, a renowned institution of higher education that offers a wide range of courses in Spanish language, history, and culture. A limited number of internship opportunities are also available. Past internships have been secured in such places as governmental and communications agencies and healthcare establishments.

The Fundación José Ortega y Gasset is a degree-granting institution that focuses on strengtheningPast Participant Button knowledge of Spanish language and culture through a wide range of course offerings in language, anthropology, art history, literature, history, politics, and economics. You can enroll in either five or six, three-credit courses per semester, for a total of 15-18 hours of credit. Six credits must be in Spanish language at a level that matches your proficiency. Courses are taught exclusively in Spanish, by Spanish professors. Therefore, the program requires that you have 4 semesters (or the equivalent level of proficiency) of Spanish to enroll. But, theres no reason to be intimidated! The courses were designed with the specific needs of the non-native speaker of Spanish in mind. Class sizes are small (typically under 30-35 students per class) and you will find the instructors to be both knowledgeable and approachable. Because much of your learning will take place outside of the classroom, you will be encouraged to participate in the many field study activities sponsored by the Fundación.
