COWA for Ohio State: Summer GE Spanish Language Program

During 6 weeks in Seville, students will complete 2-3 courses to earn eight credits. These courses have been pre-approved for Ohio State graded credit. All courses feature face-to-face instruction with the same number of contact hours as their Ohio State equivalents and some also include service-learning or other community-engagement components. The program also provides cultural activities and excursions to complement in-class learning and to maximize cultural understanding.

Courses are taught at COWA’s facilities located  in front of María Luisa’s Park, only minutes away from the city center on foot. Well connected with public transportation, COWA’s HQs include fully equipped intelligent classrooms, offices for incoming visiting faculty and students, as well a 1000 square foot indoor study area/auditorium to host activities for students such as live music, dance workshops, language exchanges, or simply hanging out. Additionally, we have a locked safe on site that allows us to securely store sensitive items for students.
