Program Structure
You'll enroll in 3 language courses. Each course meets for 60 contact hours/4 credits. You may earn a total of 12 credits (up to 180 contact hours).
Language courses meet 3 hours per day, Monday-Friday. Semesters are organized into 4-week blocks; you may be tested at the end of each block and moved into a higher language level. In the fall semester you can choose from two different start date options (late August or late September).
For an additional fee, you may enroll in an optional, non-credit internship to further your language skills while gaining valuable experience with a local company or organization. This internship will help hone your fluency and communication skills, as well as deepen your understanding of Spanish culture.
CEA CAPA will work with the University of Alicante to find you a meaningful placement. Contact hours will be arranged with your internship placement. Work schedules vary, but expect to work at your internship no less than 10 hours per week. Internships are available for students at every language level; however, some placements will only be available to students at higher levels.
You’ll take a language placement exam before you leave for Alicante.You’ll automatically be registered for your language courses. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home univesity 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.
