CIEE Liberal Arts in Palma de Mallorca, Spain

  Spain
  • All Other Areas: 
  • Palma de Mallorca

Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring 
Dates: Fall 15 - 23 weeks: mid- Sept-mid-December or mid-February; Spring 24 weeks: late January/earle January/early February-late June; Academic Year 46 or 48 weeks: mid-Sept-late June

Description: The goals of this program are for students to further develop spoken and written Spanish skills and to pursue a variety of academic fields within the ares of humanities, business, tourism studies, Spanish literature and language, and social sciences. These goals are accomplished through daily interactions in Palma's business, social, and academic environment; enrollment in university courses; living with Spanish-speaking families; class-related excursions; a conversation exchange program; a University volunteer program; and an internship opportunity.

Academic Program
Established in 2006, the CIEE Study Center at Universitat de les Illes Balears provides an academic program for students with an advanced level of Spanish who are interested in humanities, business, tourism studies, Spanish literature and language, and social sciences. The academic offering consists of a combination of CIEE Study Center language and content courses and regular courses at the UIB with other Spanish students, and a for-credit internship.

Field Visits
Field visits are organized to complement the student's academic studies, particularly the CIEE core courses, through firsthand exposure to sites related to the history of the Mediterranean and to tourism. Sites may include prehistoric sites, monuments and museums, traditional fairs and markets, areas of mass tourism and over-development on Mallorca, rural eco-tourist sites in Ibiza or Menorca, social agencies working with immigrants, and environmental and governmental agencies.

Academic Culture
The CIEE fall program begins in mid-September with the CIEE language and culture courses. Students then choose the remainder of their courses from additional CIEE culture courses. Students then choose the remainder of their courses from additional CIEE culture courses, an internship, regular UIB courses, and UIB courses for international students,and the internship finish before the third week of December. UIB regular courses continue through January with exams in mid February. Students may arrange individually with professors to complete UIB classes earlier but this cannot be guaranteed by CIEE. If students must return to home campuses before Christmas or by mid- January, CIEE does not recommend they take a regular university course during the fall semester. Academic year students return in early January after the holiday break.

In the spring, CIEE courses begin in late January and run through the end of May. Spring courses offered at the UIB begin in mid-February with exams usually scheduled in late June/early July. Early exams may be arranged by students on an individual basis with professors but CIEE does not guarantee this. Students should plan to stay until late June/early July for the spring semester.

CIEE class size is small. Classes at the UIB range from 15-60 students. Classes meet two to three times a week, and are scheduled Monday through Friday.

Teaching methods at the University normally involve a mixture of lectures, tutorials, seminars, and the sciences, laboratory classes. Spanish academic tradition involves more independent work on the part of the student. Typically the syllabus includes n outline of the themes and a list of recommended reading; there is usually no precise calendar.

While extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute to the student's overall study abroad experience, attendance in a class is a paramount. Early departure for or late return from vacations is not allowed. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program, during vacation periods, or upon completion of the program.

Highlights:

  • Take a wide range of courses including business and tourism, Spanish language and literature, anthropology, and psychology alongside Spanish and other international students; small group atmosphere,
  • Internships for credit in major companies related to tourism and other industries; field visits to sites of socio-economic and cultural importance
  • Extensive cultural activities and excursions in and around Palma, historical and natural sites of Malllorca, and overnight study trip to Madrid or Barcelona

    Culture
    Cultural Activities and Field Trips
    The academic program is supplemented with field trips and excursions, and an overnight trip to Madrid or Barcelona is included. CIEE also organizes cultural activities designed to bring American and Spanish university students together.

    Sports
    The UIB has wonderful sports facilities similar to those found on a U.S. campus including an indoor swimming pool, a gym, tennis, basketball, football, and volleyball courts, and numerous activities and courses that run throughout the year. Access to these facilities is included in the program fee.

    Immersion
    Guardian Angels
    Guardian Angels are local university students who accompany CIEE students on group activities and participate in field trips and other events. Guardian Angels introduce CIEE students to the University and to the culture of Palma.

    Conversation Exchange Program
    All students participate in the conversation exchange program. CIEE language class requires that students participate in a class project with other local students from the Spanish Philology Department. Each CIEE student is assigned to a group of Spanish students from a linguistics class at the University to work on a language research project, often resulting in strong friendships.

    Volunteering
    The UIB offers a volunteer program so that students can play an active role in the activities of different associations and institutions in fields as diverse as the environment, development, health, and support for people with disabilities.
