You’ll enroll in 1 language or elective course with the option to enroll in an additional elective course. Courses are available in Spanish and English. Language courses meet for 60 contact hours/4 credits, while elective courses meet for 45 hours/3 credit. You'll earn 3-7 credits (45-105 contact hours).

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 their 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 university 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.
