Students will stay with host families and complete the course requirement for Spanish 201 at the Center for Cross Cultural Studies in Seville. They will be immersed in all areas of culture during this program, including observing flamenco and eating Spanish cuisine. Students will also have the opportunity to explore various religious and historical sites like the Cathedral and the Alcazar, as well as participate in two excursions to Cordoba and Palos de la Frontera.
