By looking at many pieces of the historical record, students will learn where to look for new changes, and how to imagine the future evolution of the language.

Students in the Advanced Program (AP) may choose courses from the regular offerings of the grados universitarios at the Campus Universitario EUSA. Note that the “curso” (i.e., Curso 1°) refers to the year of the class in the Spanish curriculum (1° = ‘first year’, 2° = ‘second year’, 3° = ‘third year’, etc). The higher the course, the more background information you will be expected to know.

How to find courses and syllabi:

You should look for course information on the website of Campus Universitario EUSA. On this page, under “COURSES TAUGHT IN SPANISH SEMESTER 2” you will find a list of spring semester courses offered in Spanish, organized by major and then by year. Syllabi are available on the Courses page. For language, enter “Spanish” and select your semester. Alternatively, you can find a course by entering the “Course Code” (“Código”) indicated on the list of classes.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

1. When looking at classes, only the classes taught in the semester in which you are studying are available to you. These classes are listed as Semestre 1 or Semestre 2. You should look for Semestre 2 when searching for second semester (Spring) classes.
2. The syllabi are not given for the “Asignaturas optativas” which are degree elective classes. All degree elective classes may not be taught every semester. The university will publish the full list of classes at the beginning of the academic year.

Classes for Spanish majors and minors

If you are looking for classes that would count toward your Spanish major or minor, your best option is to look at the Facultad de Filología (like a School of Business or Journalism, this is a School of Languages, and it has several departments within it, including Filología Hispánica).

Facultad de Filología: Literature, Language, Linguistics

• http://filologia.us.es
• Horarios: http://filologia.us.es/horarios-de-clase/

*Spanish language and Literature classes are under Filología Hispánica. Most students choose classes from Filología Hispánica for Spanish major and minor credit. However, you are also allowed to take classes in the other departments. (To see other departments, click on the Filología´s Horario de clases. On that page, click on “Grado y Doble Grado” and then click on “Todos los cursos”.) 

Schedule of Classes – Filología Hispánica: Consult the Filología Hispánica Schedule page to know when a class will be offered. Use the tabs (in white on the bottom left side: “SEGUNDO”, “TERCERO”, “CUARTO”) to navigate to each “curso” (meaning year within a degree). “PRIMERO” or first-year courses are not available to visiting (non-degree seeking) students. For spring semester classes, you are only able to take classes listed under “C2” (in the black separation bar). 

Syllabi – Grado Filología Hispánica: To find a course syllabus, click on the Gestion de Programs page. Choose the class from the dropdown menu in “Asignatura”. The “Programa de la asignatura” will be in a pdf in the second gray box.

Important Reminders:

• **Due to high demand, 1st year Grado courses are not available in any facultad. You will only be able to enroll in 2nd-year classes and above.
• There are year-long and semester-long classes. When looking at schedules, only the classes taught in the semester in which you are studying are available to you. Depending on the facultad, they will denote whether a class is first semester, second semester, or year-long in different ways. You should look for 1ºC, primer cuatrimestre, 1C, or C1 when searching for first semester (Fall) classes. Spring semester students will look for 2ºC, segundo cuatrimestre, 2C or C2.
• When you look at the class schedules (horarios), you should look at the schedules for the GRADO. The classes in the MASTERS level are not open to you.

Information for other facultades at the Universidad de Sevilla:

While students are allowed to enroll in classes in other facultades, students should keep in mind the following:

• It is recommended that you be a native or near-native speaker of Spanish. You will need to have not only a very high level of Spanish, but also significant background knowledge of the subject area to be successful in a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year course.
• Students should also keep in mind that all facultades have their own policies regarding registration, and these policies may change without notice being given to collaborating institutions like COWA. 
• When choosing classes, remember that the different facultades of the University of Sevilla are spread throughout the city and are not located on one central campus. Travel time between facultades varies, but students would need to plan for a minimum of 15-20 minutes. You will need to take this into account if you are interested in a class in Filología from 10-11 am, and another class in Empresariales from 11-12. These are not in the same building and you will not be able to take the classes back to back.
• To select courses, you will need to obtain the list of courses offered for the particular facultad in which you are interested. There is no central registration system or course listing, so you will have to check each facultad separately. 

To find course information for other facultades, start with the website of Universidad de Sevilla. Scroll down and click on “Centros Propios”; you will arrive at a list of all the escuelas and facultades of the Universidad de Sevilla. Click on the escuela or facultad then on the web page listed under “Sitio Web” to go to the homepage for the facultad. Not all will have the course listing and syllabi online. A syllabus is called a programa, so a list of the course syllabi may be called “Programas de las asignaturas”. Schedules and syllabi may normally be found under headings such as Docencia or Ordenación Docente.

AP students can also take classes at the University of Seville through their Courses for Foreign Students program (Cursos concertados), organized by the Philology and Geography & History Faculties. These class offerings cover a wide range of subjects from Spanish language, history, and culture to social psychology, gastronomy, and teaching methodology. Please consult the list below for a sample of the classes generally taught during spring semesters and UNC equivalents for courses that were taken in the past. Please check to make sure the course is still listed on the UNC Pre-Approved Course List (see below), and if not, request a reaccreditation via the UNC Study Abroad Portal.

NOTE: This is a partial list, and classes may change according to the semester or academic year.
