Spain Study Abroad Fall

Dates: 6 September–11 December 2024
Application Deadline: 5 April 2024
Apply Now

Dotted with castles and cathedrals, Spain has a cuisine that rivals France, and a people that descend from the Basques, Celts, Iberians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors. Few cultures can boast a past, or present, as exotic and diverse. Such is the nature of the land we shall explore together. From our base in Alcalá de Henares, we shall travel extensively, with Toledo, Seville, Granada, Burgos, and Barcelona among our likely destinations. Join us to enhance your understanding of this unique country, where Europe and Africa are so often said to meet.
