The Salamanca Immersion Program is for students interested in studying Spanish language and culture at one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious universities. Students go as a group in the fall and/or spring semesters. No particular major is required for eligibility. Students are normally of sophomore, junior, or senior standing and must have completed SPA 280 and SPA 282/SPA 283.
Students typically take 4-5 courses during the semester. SPA 304 is a core required course in the program. Students may choose to do an internship (SPA 199). SPA 199 is Pass/Fail and does not count towards a Spanish major or minor. The program includes 2-3 weeks of travel to cities of cultural and historical interest. Students typically live with host families but may also choose to live in a residence hall.
