Study Abroad - Programs
Spring 2004
Granada, Spain
February 10, 2004 - May 27, 2004 (tentative only)


Program Overview

Study Spanish culture in Granada, one of the most beautiful cities in the Andalusia region of southern Spain. Granada's imposing Moorish palace, the Alhambra, overlooks the city and envelops it in history. A Mediterranean climate, romantic location, and excellent academic program make the Granada Semester an experience not to be missed.

The Spring Semester in Granada combines multi-disciplinary course offerings with a variety of social and cultural activities. Students interested in communications, history, economics, sociology, international relations, political science and literature will find this program a particularly enriching experience.

You'll have the chance to explore Spain, too. The first few days are spent in Madrid; from Granada, weekend excursions will take you to the Andalusian cities of Cordoba and Seville and the famous Costa del Sol. The program also typically features day trips to sites in and around Granada, such as the Alhambra and the Cartuja Monastery. The resident director, a faculty member of the University of Granada, administers the program in Spain and serves as a liaison to the University of Delaware.

Accommodations: Students will reside in private Spanish homes, either singly or in pairs. Bedding and linens are provided, as well as all meals.
