3-Week Summer Program: May 27 - June 14, 2024

Our programs are taught by outstanding local professors from the Universidad de Navarra and by distinguished professors invited from other universities such as Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Barnard College, Scranton University, and Fairfield University.

Spanish Language & Culture
Term: Summer Session I
Language: Spanish
Credits: 6 ECTS/3 US credits

We offer a unique sociocultural course that helps students improve their interpersonal oral and written communicative abilities in just 3 weeks. Courses are based on active learner participation. Students are expected to engage in interactive small and large-group activities. The different tasks presented in class will require students to use Spanish in multiple situations that reflect the use of different varieties of Spanish. Students also develop critical thinking and creative skills through a digital storytelling final project.

Hispanic Core
Term: Summer Session II
Language: Spanish, English
Credits: 6ECTS/3US credits

In this interdisciplinary seminar, students will read classical works from the Hispanic tradition and discuss them in open-ended conversations guided by an experienced professor who serves as their guide. The format of the course is shared inquiry, where the students and instructor work together to understand and appreciate works that have influenced Hispanic culture. Authors may include Cervantes, Marquez, Allende, Borges, Calderón, and Vargas Llosa. Students enrolled in this course will also have an opportunity to share cultural experiences and tour together during their time in Spain. This course will be offered both in Spanish and in English, pending enrollment.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Four class hours per day Monday to Friday for 3 weeks (60 class hours). Co-curricular activities in the afternoon and weekends to enrich cultural immersion in Spain and to better understand the culture in the context of coursework are organized.
