Description: The Madrid Language and Liberal Arts Program offers the study of Spanish language, literature, and culture in one of Europe's liveliest and most exciting capital cities. The student's level of preparation and background in Spanish will determine placement in different levels from intensive Spanish language courses to liberal arts courses that introduce students to topics such as contemporary Spanish culture, the history of Spanish painting, or twentieth-century Spanish writers.

This six-week program takes place at the Instituto Internacional en Espana where students enroll in two courses. Students live in Spanish households and enjoy excursions within Madrid and to cities such as Sevilla, Toledo, and Segovia. Upon successful completion of the program, students earn eight Boston University credits.
