The overall objective of this program is to provide students with the opportunity of living in Spain for five weeks, while also being immersed in the language and culture of contemporary Spain. The program endeavors to provide enrichment of the student's general culture through small classes in the picturesque old part of the city, along with a strong orientation toward both humanistic learning and more pragmatic studies in Spanish business and commercial correspondence. Not only does the program increase the student's knowledge of Spanish, both written and oral, but a series of afternoon cultural lectures and field trips on dance, film, cuisine, historical monuments and museums provides opportunities to expand ones cultural knowledge beyond the formal literary, historical and commercial course work of the morning classes. In addition, the program includes various field trips to unique and exciting cultural and historical sites. Less
