MADRID:
Hamilton College in Spain
Hamilton College in Spain is a rigorous program dedicated to maintaining
the standards of the member colleges of its academic consortium,
Hamilton, Williams, Swarthmore, Amherst, and Haverford. Courses
are designed specifically for the students on the program and are
taught in small classes by members of the Facultad de Filosofia
y Letras of the Universidad Compultense de Madrid or other authorities
in the humanities, history, and the arts. Students take four courses
per semester selected from a wide range of offerings in Spanish
language, literature, and civilization, which include classes in
history and art history, political science, economics, anthropology,
and sociology. Independent study may be arranged by students who
wish to work on individual projects. All courses are taught entirely
in Spanish and the language must be spoken at all times, both in
and outside of class. All students are required to sign a pledge
to this effect before their arrival in Madrid. Internships are available,
allowing students to immerse themselves more fully in the social
and cultural environment of Madrid in such areas as education, health
care, and social work. The program offers an unusually large number
of academically structured field trips and excursions throughout
the semester, beginning with the 10-day orientation on the north
or south coast. Other destinations have included Granada, Segovia,
Salamanca, Toledo, Seville, Cordoba, Avila, and Santiago de Compostela,
among others. Housing is provided in homestays with carefully selected
Spanish families. Eligibility: Minimum GPA of 3.0. 300-level Spanish.
