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 that focuses on oral comprehension and expression, listening comprehension and grammar components. Students will then enroll in three or 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 language courses and electives meet for a total of 45 contact hours and are generally worth 3 credits in the US semester system. If students enroll in 5 classes, they can earn up to 15 credits in the US semester system. However, it is up to the discretion of your academic advisor how much credit will be awarded.
Schedule Summary
Semester classes at the GlobalCampus meet one to three times per week for a total of 3 contact hours. Classes are typically held Monday through Thursday although study trips and other required fieldwork may occur on Fridays. Classes are offered at various times throughout the day.

Course Registration
Students must register for courses prior to departure for Seville. A course preference form will be posted to your MyCEA Account when course timetables are released.

You will take an online language placement exam prior to the program closure date and will receive a preliminary language level assignment. However, your final language level may be adjusted onsite. To aid in the registration process, it is in your best interest to have courses, including alternates, approved by your academic advisor prior to submitting your course preference form.
