CEA CAPA Seville Center
The CEA CAPA Seville Center was founded in 2006 to provide North American students with an interdisciplinary liberal arts education that’s enhanced by its location. Courses are offered in Spanish and English, offering you the opportunity to both improve your language skills and further your academic pursuits in a variety of subjects, with Seville as your classroom.
Courses at the CEA CAPA Seville Center allow you to delve into the diverse history, sociology, culture, and art of Spain, incorporating components that expose you to elements of the city, from monuments and museums to businesses, local food markets, and government agencies. You’ll be encouraged to explore on your own and challenged to draw connections between the subjects you study in class and your observations outside of the classroom. Not only will this help you get to know Seville, but also help you gain insight into how Spain fits into a larger European context.
