Barcelona

Term: Summer 
Dates: late May - late June (five weeks)

Description: Students studying in Barcelona through CIS are enrolled at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), one of Spain's top universities. Students stay at UAB's beautiful Sarria campus, located in an affluent financial and educational district in north Barcelona and have the support of the CIS site director throughout their stay.

The summer program at UAB runs for six weeks and offers a variety of exciting courses in Spanish language, art history, cultural studies, international business, political science, marketing, and more. You may choose either two elective courses or a language class and one elective to complete the course load of 6 credits. All language levels in Spanish are accommodated. Classes are scheduled from Monday through Thursday, leaving plenty of time for exploring the city, visiting museums and galleries, and day tripping with fellow international students.

Highlights: The newest campus of UAB, the Sarrià campus is located in an affluent financial and educational district in north Barcelona, a 25 minute subway ride away from the Sant Pau campus. The Sarrià and Sant Pau campuses have the same class time schedule, so CIS students can take classes on both campuses during the semester. Students are in classes with other U.S. and international students.

Barcelona is a mecca for culture enthusiasts, offering a dazzling array of art exhibitions, theater and dance events, film festivals, concerts, lectures, and more. Students studying with CIS at UAB will have plenty of opportunities for social, cultural and recreational experiences that define and enhance their time in Spain. The center of Barcelona, where UAB is located, is also extremely livable for students: UAB students can find grocery stores, Internet cafés, post offices, souvenir shops and tapas bars all within a few blocks of their apartments. Within easy walking distance students can explore numerous museums and churches, the cathedral of Barcelona, and even the beach.
