Through visits to Spanish public institutions and guest lectures, the course will provide a unique perspective on how these principles affect the daily lives of people in Spain and will allow for a comparison of theory and practice in the functioning of Spanish social systems.

Students in the Spanish Advanced Studies (SAS) program 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.

SAS 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 NC State equivalents for courses that were taken in the past.

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