France and Spain

Students studying French or Spanish enrich their studies and cultural competencies with a semester or year in residence in Montpellier, Paris, Toledo, Madrid or Seville. The number of credits earned is explained in all program materials.

Students in the RAYA (France or Spain), Montpellier, Toledo and Seville programs usually live in private homes. Besides classroom work and tutorials in language, literature, art, history, sociology, business and politics, students attend concerts, opera, films, sporting and social events, and take part in cultural and historical excursions (possible additional charge for excursions).

Participants in the Toledo and Seville programs need not be language majors. The Seville program is of particular interest to majors in business, marketing, politics and government, or education. Internship opportunities exist for both Toledo and Seville programs.

Students who complete one semester of study for graded credit in one of these programs fulfill the Global and Cultural Studies requirement.

Length of program:
One or two semesters.

Eligibility:
Two years of college French or Spanish; three or more years of the language in high school.

Credit:
Maximum of 18 credit hours (fall semester); 16 credit hours (spring semester).

Application deadline:
March 15 (fall semester or full year); Oct. 15 (winter/spring semester).
