Fall LSCS Program
Program Overview
The Language, Society and Cultural Studies (LSCS) program is intended for students who have completed at least Intermediate Spanish Composition (Spanish 3403). In LSCS, students will choose four to five of the courses offered by COWA to earn 12-15 academic credits. These classes have been pre-approved for graded credit by The Ohio State University. Classes are taken with other LSCS students at COWA facilities.
PROGRAM IN LANGUAGE, SOCIETY, & CULTURAL STUDIES – Course Listing and Equivalencies
During a semester in Seville, students will complete 4-5 courses and earn 12-15 academic credits. These courses have been pre-approved for Ohio State graded credit. Courses focus on improving Spanish linguistic competence and cultural familiarity through topics such as business, cinema, culture, grammar and literature. 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, located near María Luisa’s Park, just a short walk away from the historical centre of Seville. Our facilities include fully equipped intelligent classrooms in which the student will be taking the classes, as well as study and leisure areas.
