Academic Focus
The Humanities & Spanish Language program offered in the summer at the CEA GlobalCampus in Seville is designed for students of all language levels who wish to further their language skills while exploring the history and culture of Spain through electives offered in English and Spanish. 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.
Students can choose to enroll in a 1 course or 2 course option. Courses are available in subject areas such as History, Cultural Studies, Art History and Popular Culture. Spanish language courses are available throughout the summer for all language levels. Students are highly encouraged to take a language class to enhance their understanding of Spanish culture; however, language courses are not required. The CEA GlobalCampus in Seville offers two 4-week summer sessions, one in June and one in July. Students can opt to participate in one session or two back-to-back sessions in order to earn additional credit.
All language courses and electives meet for a total of 45 contact hours and are generally worth 3 credits in the US semester system. Students enrolled in the 1 course option will earn 3 credits whereas students in the 2 course option will earn 6 credits. However, it is up to the discretion of your academic advisor how much credit will be awarded.
Schedule Summary
Classes typically meet Monday through Thursday for 2 ½ or 3 hours each session although study trips and other required fieldwork may occur on Fridays. Classes are offered at various times throughout the day. Class timetables will be released approximately 3 months before the program closure date, and your final course schedule will be posted to your MyCEA Account around two weeks before the program start date.
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. This form should be completed upon your acceptance to the program but no later than the program closure date. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis so it is in your best interest to submit your course preference form as soon as possible.
Course preferences are considered final when submitted to CEA. 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.
