Program Notes
This program is highly competitive and will accept only a limited number of applicants. Interview appointments and acceptance decisions are at the discretion of the faculty director.
Note: Please check program pages regularly or follow @UDGlobal on Instagram or Twitter for updated information on applying for a 24W study abroad program.

Please review the CGPS COVID-19 Updates page before applying to a study abroad program for information about COVID-19 related travel requirements and policies for UD study abroad.

All applicants must have a valid passport by the program’s application deadline. Your passport’s expiration date must be more than six months after the program ends. If you do not have a current passport, apply through the U.S. State Department. It takes an average of 10 -13 weeks (3-4 months) to process a passport.

Traveling and studying abroad during a global pandemic poses new challenges and requires accepting a higher level of uncertainty than in the past. Students who choose to study abroad at this time must be prepared to adapt to the evolving situation and must take responsibility to act in accordance with the rules, regulations, and recommendations of UD, their program leadership, and legal authorities of their home and host country. Due to the rapidly changing and unpredictable global and local response to COVID-19, these rules, regulations and recommendations are subject to change at any time.

The University will continue to monitor the ongoing situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) as we approach the departure date for this program. Please reach out to your program coordinator or faculty director with questions and continue to monitor the UD coronavirus webpage for updates. If UD decides to cancel a study abroad program, we will communicate directly with affected students.
Program Description
Study classroom management for social and emotional learning in Barcelona, Spain, a city known for its vibrant art and food scenes, its Mediterranean seascape, and its unique Catalunyan culture and language. You will be engaging course material through online modules and working with international teachers in English speaking classrooms in our partner school in Barcelona. There you will experience how to build communities of learners and how to apply classroom management strategies to achieve educational and social and emotional goals.

Additionally, you will be experiencing the beauty and culture of Barcelona through guided tours of the city, a visit to Gaudi's famous cathedral, La Sagrada Familia, and by experiencing a Catalunyan cooking class. This winter session program also usually includes a visit to the breathtaking Montserrat monastery with its dramatic mountaintop views across northern Spain, and other excursions within the city to Casa Mila, the Picasso Museum and other famous Barcelona sites. The program also includes a welcome and farewell dinner in a traditional Catalunyan restaurant.

Students reside in double or triple occupancy apartments with full kitchen facilities and wifi in a safe and friendly neighborhood with easy access to local shopping, cafes and metro access to tourist sites.

If you are an Elementary Teacher Education major with the desire to learn about classroom management in a dynamic school and warm and friendly city, the Winter Session in Barcelona is for you.

The Faculty Director will be conducting rolling interviews and hopes to have the team together by late April, it would benefit students to have their applications in early.

The Program Fee includes lodging in double or triple occupancy apartments, all program-related events and excursions, in-country transportation, and international medical insurance.

The Program Fee does NOT include airfare to/from Barcelona, nor airport transfers within the U.S. The program officially begins when students arrive in Barcelona. Students will receive detailed travel instructions after acceptance, explaining how and where to purchase their plane ticket. See the Cost section below for estimate airfare.
