COVID:
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.

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.

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 host institution of this program is the Granada Institute of International Studies. Dr. Amalia Pulgarin, Director of GRIIS administers the program in Spain and serves as a liaison to the University of Delaware.

Spend about a month taking an intensive Spanish language course to help prepare you for taking courses in art, history, business, international relations, political science and literature in Spanish during the rest of the fall semester in Granada. Spanish majors and minors, as well as students interested in improving their Spanish language skills will find this program a particularly enriching experience.

Take part in a variety of social and cultural activities. The program typically features visits to sites in and around Granada, such as the Alhambra, Cathedral and Royal Chapel, and Albaicin. You will have the chance to explore Spain, too. Once settled into Granada, weekend excursions will take you to the the Andalusian cities of Cordoba and Seville among other destinations.

Housing: Students are housed in homestays. Students will reside in hotels during overnight excursions.

The Program Fee includes lodging, three meals a day at the residence hall, cost of Spanish visa (required for U.S. citizens), international medical insurance, airport pick-up in Granada, as well as all program-related activities and excursions. All students are required to stay in program sponsored housing, independent housing arrangements are not allowed by UD or the program partners

The program fee does NOT include airfare, transportation to and from the airport in the U.S. Students will need to budget for cell phone, books and supplies, and other personal expenses.

ACCESSIBILITY: Students with disabilities are welcomed and encouraged to study abroad, but should be aware that accessibility and accommodation in some program locations may differ from the United States. Transit systems and legacy building construction practices may not meet U.S. accessibility standards, and alternative access to public transportation, buildings, or public sites cannot be guaranteed.

Courses: Students must enroll in all credit-bearing courses for a grade. Only the UNIV (zero credit) course may be taken pass/fail. Audit registration is not permitted on UD Travel Study.

The courses below have been pre-approved for UD students participating on this program.

The courses below are not guaranteed, and enrollment in specific courses is based on placement exams.

Students are enrolled in a 3 credit intensive Spanish course (SPAN 300 or SPAN 406) which meets M-F in the first month of the program. The intensive Spanish course is designed to enhance the language skills of students prior to the start of the other academic courses. In addition, all students will take SPAN 308: Spain in the XXI Century throughout the duration of the progam. At the end of the intensive Spanish course, all students will take the University of Granada’s Center for Modern Language’s Spanish language proficiency test. The results of this test will dictate which langauge track students will be enrolled in, Hispanic Studies or Language and Culture. Students with higher scores will focus on Hispanic Studies and students with lower scores will study Language and Culture.
