Description: Graduate and undergraduate credit are offered on this program. The overall objective of this program is to provide students with the opportunity of living in Spain for five weeks, while also being immersed in the language and culture of contemporary Spain. The program endeavors to provide enrichment of the student's general culture through small classes in the picturesque old part of the city, along with a strong orientation toward both humanistic learning and more pragmatic studies in Spanish business and commercial correspondence. Not only does the program increase the student's knowledge of Spanish, both written and oral, but a series of afternoon cultural lectures and field trips on dance, film, cuisine, historical monuments and museums provides opportunities to expand ones cultural knowledge beyond the formal literary, historical and commercial course work of the morning classes. In addition, the program includes various field trips to unique and exciting cultural and historical sites.

Highlights: Classes will be held at the beautiful Palacio de Lorenzana, formerly the residence of a Spanish Cardinal. The University of Castilla - La Mancha is a modern comprehensive Spanish university, with campuses in Albacete, Cuidad Real, Cuenca and Toledo. Participants in this program will have access to the University library, housed in the lovely San Pedro Mártir Building, along with the same rights and privileges as Spanish students (sports clubs or cultural activities) for free or reduced prices.
