Study abroad this summer in Seville!

Eligibility: Students must be 18 years or older and have a GPA of at least 2.75 (out of 4.0). No previous knowledge of the Spanish language is required.

Pre-Departure Information: Before students embark, they will be provided a pre-departure guide that includes important details about their program abroad. In addition, students may contact World Endeavors any time prior to departure with questions.

Housing:

Participants will stay with local Spanish host families. Host families are very welcoming and enjoy having foreign students stay with them. All host family accommodation includes 3 meals per day and laundry. Living in a host family setting is the best way to practice your Spanish outside of the classroom, and participants frequently make friendships that can last a lifetime.
