CIEE Liberal Arts Program at Sevilla, Spain
Spain
- Seville:
Seville (Sevilla)
Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring
Dates: Fall: 14 or 21 weeks early September-mid-December; Spring: 17 0r 42 weeks: early January-mid May or late June; Academic Year- 39 or 42 weeks: early September- mid May or late June
Description:
The goal of the Liberal Arts program is to help students improve their spoken and written Spanish while allowing them to pursue coursework in a wide variety of fields. These goals are achieved through the academic program, the homestay, excursions and cultural activities, conversation exchanges, and volunteer opportunities. Academic Program
The CIEE Liberal Arts program began in 1971 and is designed for students at the advanced level to improve their spoken and written Spanish while pursuing course-work in a variety of subjects. In addition to a range of courses offered by CIEE, students can also choose to directly enroll in a Universidad de Sevilla or Universidad Pablo de Olavide course. Online Placement Exam
Prior to departure for Sevilla, all students are required to take a CIEE online placement exam during the scheduled exam period: mid-November to mid-December for the fall semester and mid-May to mid-June for the spring semester. The purpose of this exam is to determine the students level of Spanish so that he or she is 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
All courses meet two to three times a week and classes are scheduled every day, Monday through Friday. Instruction is usually in lecture style. CIEE Study Center courses and Cursos para Extranjeros offered during the fall semester finish before Christmas and for the spring semester, in mid-May. Final exams at UPO normally take place in late January and late June, but may be taken early during both semesters if necessary. At the Universidad de Sevilla, exams take place in late January and late June. In some cases, professors may be willing to administer the final exam earlier than the officially scheduled date, but CIEE cannot be responsible for arranging or guaranteeing early exams. At the end of the fall semester, academic year students have a break for the late December and early January holidays celebrated in Spain. Students who are enrolled in regular university classes must be back in Sevilla by January 6, following the holiday called Reyes, to continue classes and take final exams. Students who choose to take the advanced literature class during the spring semester intensive session must be back in Sevilla by the third week of January. All other academic year students return the first week of February. During the fall, there is no extended vacation period. During the spring, two vacation periods take place: 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. While extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute to the students experience, attendance in class is mandatory. Early departure for or late return from vacations is not allowed.

Culture
Cultural Activities and Field Trips
The academic program is supplemented with field trips and excursions to points of interest in Seville and Spain. Field trips and visits highlight topics covered in class. Past excursions have included: Granada and Antequera, Extremadura, Montilla and Córdoba, and Aracena. Every week students receive an e-newsletter, Noticias desde Sevilla, which announces happenings around Seville and what cultural activities the program has planned to complement academic work.Trip to Morocco
Students enjoy a three day trip to Morocco as part of the Advanced Language Skills and Conversation course, which focuses on issues related to the historical, cultural, religious, and economic ties between Spain and Morocco. Students put contemporary reality into an historical perspective while there. To prepare for the trip, guest speakers discuss issues concerning emigration, the role of women, Al-Andalus music, and relations between Spain and Morocco. 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. Immersion
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. 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. Student Publication, 6x1
Students in the Language and Society program have the opportunity to participate in the production of a student publication, 6x1 (seis por uno). It features a map of the city of Seville and six small articles about important cultural activities and events one should not miss while living in Seville. Language professors coordinate the work with student volunteers. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to participate in a fun and challenging project while in Seville. Students should not miss this opportunity to leave their legacy in Seville long after returning home.
