All Levels
In the Fall semester you'll enroll in 1-3 Core courses, 1 Spanish language or elective course and 0-2 elective courses. Starting with Spring 2025, you’ll enroll in 1 Spanish language or culture course, and 3 UA English courses. You have the option to add an additional Spanish or English elective course for an additional fee ($825).
Language/culture courses meet for 60 contact hours/4 credits, elective courses, taught in English, meet for 45-60 contact hours/2-3 credits. You may earn 13 credits (up to 240 contact hours)or 17 credits, if selecting the additional course.
Spanish language/culture courses meet 2 times per week; schedules for elective courses vary and will be finalized on-site. You’ll have the option to sit in different courses during the first 2 weeks before schedules will be finalized.
Before you leave for Alicante, you will select your preferred courses and take a language placement exam. You'll be enrolled into courses based on availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home school pre-approve courses at several levels before you leave for Spain. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
Students receive a transcript from University of Alicante upon completion of their program.
Final Exams
The period established at the UA for local students to take their finals runs past the CEA CAPA program dates. However, CEA CAPA students will be allowed to either take your finals in advanced before the program ends or have them proctored at their Host Institution. You should approach your professors during the first half of your program to learn which option they will give you.
The following courses have been confirmed for this term. Please note, the host institution reserves the right to cancel or change courses without prior notification.
