SEVILLE: Council on International Educational Exchange

The Council on International Educational Exchange in Seville is located on the campus of the Universidad de Sevilla, located in the center of the city. After a two-day orientation session during which students are introduced to the country, culture, and academic program, students begin the academic phase of the program consisting of two cycles. During Cycle I, which runs through September in the fall and January in the spring, participants take one intensive course from a choice of several fields and may also be enrolled in intensive language training. During Cycle II, which runs to the end of the semester, students enroll in five courses chosen from Council Study Center Courses, open only to American students, University of Seville Cursos para Extranjeros for international students, and/or regular University of Seville courses with Spanish students. All courses are taught in Spanish and placement depends of the student's language proficiency. Council Study Center Courses are numerous and cover a wide range of fields including advanced language study, literature, political science, history, international relations, art history, and women's studies. The list of Cursos para Extranjeros, offered by the university itself for international students, is extensive and includes both advanced Spanish and a broad-ranging selection in literature, theatre, cinema, geography, anthropology, history, archeology, political science, and the history of art. It is recommended that students take regular Universidad de Sevilla courses only in their major or a field in which they have had substantial coursework. A full complement of additional advanced classes is offered in a wide variety of fields. Tutorials are provided for selected regular university courses to provide assistance in understanding the material covered in class. Students should plan to take regular university classes only in the spring semester since the final examination period in the fall is scheduled in mid to late January, which would overlap the beginning of the semester at Grinnell. Independent studies can also be organized for students upon request. Internship opportunities exist in high schools in conjunction with an associated course in teaching English as a second language. Council also provides volunteer opportunities to work with religious, social and political organizations. Field trips and excursions are provided to sites of interest in Seville and the Andalucian region. Housing is provided in homestays or boarding houses. Eligibility: Third-year Spanish, including Spanish 238 and 239.
