BROWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE

SEMESTER IN SPAIN

Exchange your BCC classroom for one in Spain
and discover a different learning experience

Study in Seville, Spain and earn credit at Broward Community College. Through the Semester in Spain program, you'll join other American students for a semester of learning that won't interrupt your degree program at BCC and won't require a knowledge of the Spanish language to get started.

Through BCC, you'll explore the history, art, language, and culture of the city of Seville. The program is offered during the fall and spring at the Institute of International Studies—Seville, in cooperation with the College Consortium for International Studies in Washington DC.  A one month summer opportunity is also available.

All courses are approved toward degree programs in this state.

Where is Seville?
Seville (also known as Sevilla) is located 300 miles south of Madrid in Andalusia, the southernmost province of Spain that shares the Iberian peninsula with Portugal (see map). It is the home of Flamenco dancing and the April Feria (April Fair) — a street festival known for its colorful tents.

What courses would I take?
Students take a total of 15 semester hours in Spanish language, culture and society, the European Union, International Relations, Art History and other choices during a full semester schedule.  Register at BCC before you leave and you won’t have to worry about transferring credits.  They will be on your BCC transcript when you return.

How much will it cost?
Since fees are subject to change, contact the Office of International Studies at BCC for current prices.  A significant discount off of the program fee is available to BCC students!

BCC students should ask about the William Greene Scholarship Program which will help to further offset this expense.

Where are classes offered?
Courses are offered at two locations in Seville:

Taught in English:
The Institute of International Studies, which has classrooms, a library, a computer lab, student services, and a student lounge facility.

Taught in Spanish:
The University of Seville, a full-service, major international university that offers courses from a wide variety of programs with credits that transfer to BCC.

Where will I live?

There are again two options:  

1.     Live with a Spanish family that has been qualified by the Institute of International Studies. You will be immersed in Spanish culture by living and eating meals with your host family on a daily basis. In just one semester you will learn more about Spain and the Spanish language than in years of classroom study.

2.      Live in a “residencia” along with other students and a house mother. 

How do I register?
Contact the International Education Institute at BCC — (954) 201-7707, or e-mail dmoore@broward.edu for an application form. You will receive a packet in the mail in a few days.

When are classes offered?
Semester in Spain students may enroll for either the fall session (September-December) or the spring session (January-May).  The summer program is four weeks beginning in the third week of June.
