Spanish Culture in Spain

Catalog description

A three-week study-abroad intensive course that takes place in Spain. This class will allow students to get in contact with the Spanish language and culture firsthand. The course combines the unique advantages of a total immersion environment in Spanish with a classroom curriculum that includes grammar review, conversation practice, and study of relevant cultural issues. The focus of the culture curriculum is the study of Spain's key historical moments through some of the main cities and nearby communities: their literature, visual arts, films, and music. While in Spain, students will visit museums and historic landmarks, and the University of Salamanca (one of the oldest and most prestigious in Europe), attend talks by local intellectuals and participate in cultural activities. We will meet three times during the spring semester to coordinate the trip. Counts as a CAS Global & Cultural Diversity course. Counts as a Human Diversity & Commonality course.
