 The Summer Program
in Spain runs
every summer for five weeks from
late May through late June and
is based at the Universidad de Málaga in
Málaga, Spain, a beautiful and historic beach-lined city
of 600,000 on the country’s famous Costa del Sol. The
program is designed to provide students with an
opportunity to totally immerse themselves into the
Spanish language and culture.
CLASS: All students earn four
credits for Spanish 309: Summer Program in Spain.
Classes,
which consist only of SU Program students,
are
conducted by Universidad de Málaga faculty and the
Program Director from SU’s Modern Languages Department
at the Universidad de Málaga’s Cursos para
Extranjeros center in downtown Málaga.
Classes meet each morning with a one-hour class on
Spanish grammar review and composition, followed by
another one-hour class on Spanish culture, history, and
art. In
addition to
the regular morning classes, students
participate in
a variety of activities outside of the classroom that
are incorporated into the coursework.
Prerequisite: Spanish 202.
EXCURSIONS:
The Program features excursions to Granada, Córdoba and Sevilla. The Program’s art history professor
accompanies students on these trips, serving as guide and
actually holding class in the likes of Granada’s
Alhambra, Córdoba’s Mezquita, and Sevilla’s
Catedral and Reales Alcázares, as well as
other sites of interest, all of which the students
study in slide presentations in class in Málaga
prior to seeing them come to life on the excursions.
Program participants also visit sites in Málaga,
such as the Catedral and Alcazaba, again
in the company of the Program’s art history professor.
Students also have ample free time to explore Málaga and its surroundings–the caves of Nerja, the
beaches of Torremolinos and Marbella, the mountain town
of Mijas, the old plaza de toros of Ronda, even
the Rock of Gibraltar–on their own.
HOUSING: Students live and take meals in
selected Spanish homes, most of which are situated
within a 10-minute walk of the Mediterranean.
COST: Tuition and fees for the 2009
SU Summer Program in Spain are
estimated to be $4,900.
The final cost will be established in spring 2009. The Program
price will include all tuition, round-trip
international airfare, bus passes in Málaga,
room and board in a Spanish home throughout the Program,
and Program-organized excursions.
DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT
INFORMATION: An
initial deposit of $250 is due at the time of
application. This deposit is part of the total
advertised cost of the program. Once a student is
academically admitted by the faculty director, the
initial non-refundable deposit is due to the Cashier’s
Office. The student will be automatically enrolled into
the study abroad course. The University Billing Office
will then bill each registered student for the total
cost of the study abroad program (less the deposit
amount) through the regular university billing system.
Standard University deadlines for withdrawals do not
apply to study abroad programs. Once the
published Application Deadline occurs, the accepted
student is responsible for the entire amount of the
study abroad program charge.
APPLICATION
INFORMATION:
Application forms are available at the Center for
International Education or from the faculty director.
Completed application forms are currently being accepted
by the faculty director or by the Center for
International Education. Students should also submit a
completed faculty recommendation form from a faculty
member who knows the student well.
Faculty Recommendation
form available here. Admission to the program is competitive. Students
will be admitted on a rolling basis until the program is
full. Application deadline is February 13, 2009.
