Program Summary

In this 12-week program, students may complete up to three courses of college level Spanish as well as additional electives in various fields including Environmental Studies, Business, Politics, Latin American Studies, Liberal Arts, and Communication. Most of the electives offered are taught in English and others are taught in Spanish (for advanced level Spanish speakers). Another great advantage of this program is that its intensive language courses are four weeks long meaning students can complete an intensive Spanish language course in four weeks and then move on to a higher level Spanish class, with the possibility of moving up three language levels throughout the course of their program. Students are entitled to enroll in a total of four courses (combination of electives and four-week language courses). All classes are at the Universidad Veritas with ISA and other international students. Courses are taught by host university faculty at the Universidad Veritas.
