Students will attend classes at Universidad de Alcalá in Alcalá de Henares, Spain. Alcalá de Henares is a Spanish city whose historical center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was founded by Cardinal Jiménez de Cisneros in the early 16th century and was the world’s first planned university city—many urban cities were modeled after its design. Located in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, 35 km northeast of the city of Madrid, at an altitude of 588 m (1,929 ft) above sea level, it has a population of around 200,000, the second largest of the region after Madrid.

Courses

Courses are available in both English and Spanish. No Spanish language skills are required. A broad spectrum of business courses is offered.

This program was designed for business majors and minors, and only business classes are guaranteed to transfer. Many courses will count toward Marriott School courses and the Global Business Certificate.

All courses must be pre-approved before the trip by the Marriott School’s Whitmore Global Business Center. For a list of courses available at Universidad de Alcalá, please visit the GBC (360 TNRB).

Students may not take any other courses on this program, including BYU Online courses, without approval by the program director and ISP.
