Academic Focus
The Humanities & Spanish Language program at the CEA GlobalCampus in Seville is designed for students of all language levels who wish to explore the history and culture of Spain through electives offered in both English and Spanish. Regardless of language of instruction or subject area, all courses offered at the CEA GlobalCampus are designed to help students gain insight into the history and culture of Spain in an interactive setting. Both in and out of class, students are encouraged to explore the city and make connections between their first hand observations and the subjects they are studying.
Semester students are required to take one Spanish language course appropriate to their level which focuses on oral comprehension and expression, listening comprehension and grammar components. Students will then enroll in three to four elective courses. You can take electives in English or Spanish depending on your interest and language level. The courses at the CEA GlobalCampus in Seville focus on art, history, music, language and popular culture. In addition, several courses highlight the uniqueness of Southern Spain, known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant history. Because of the diverse course offerings and instruction in both Spanish and English, you can earn credits toward your major and/or additional graduation requirements.
All courses meet for a total of 45 contact hours each semester. Students generally receive 3 semester credits per course, for a total of 12 - 15 credits per semester.
Students studying at the CEA GlobalCampus in Seville in the Fall of 2007 will participate in a one-week intensive language preparation course taught at a local language center. Based on the 2007/2008 academic calendar, there is a one week break between arrival and the start of semester courses. This course was added to the 2007 Fall session to take advantage of the break and to help students prepare for their semester courses.
Schedule Summary
All semester classes at the CEA GlobalCampus meet either two or three times per week, for a total of 3 hours per week. Classes may be held on any day of the week and are offered at various times throughout the day.
Course Registration
Students must register for courses prior to departure for Seville. A course selection form will be sent to you upon acceptance to the program and should be turned in with your confirmation deposit, or no later than the application closure date for your program. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis so it is in your best interest to submit your course selection form as soon as possible.
Course registrations are considered final when submitted to CEA. The only adjustment that will be made to course registrations are for language courses and electives taught in Spanish. You will be given a language placement exam on the first day of class. If you do not test into the level anticipated, your registration for language courses and Spanish electives will be adjusted. To aid in the registration process, it is in your best interest to have courses, including alternates, approved by your academic advisor prior to departure.
