The Lower Intermediate Spanish (LINT) program is intended for students who have completed at least Spanish 102. These students will take the required course SEVI 203 at COWA. LINT students will take the rest of their classes in English with other international students at Campus Universitario EUSA or at the University of Seville (so-called “Cursos concertados” / see below). These courses are offered in a variety of subjects such as: Marketing, Business, Art, History, Psychology, Sociology, etc.
Students in the LINT program must take SEVI 203 – Intermediate Spanish at COWA and choose 3 or 4 additional courses in English at the University of Sevilla or EUSA. Students must seek credit approval from UNC for EUSA and Universidad de Sevilla courses.
Students in the Lower Intermediate (LINT) program may choose courses from the regular offerings of the university degree programs at the Campus Universitario EUSA. Note that the “year” 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.
You should look for course information on the website of Campus Universitario EUSA. On this page, under the “COURSES TAUGHT IN ENGLISH SEMESTERS 1 & 2” you will find a list of courses offered in English organized by semester (fall is first), then by major, and finally by year (1st yr, 2nd yr, etc.). Syllabi are available on the Courses page. For language, enter “English” and select your semester.
LINT 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 courses taught in English 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.

This PDF provided by the University of Seville contains the list of classes offered this semester. (See p. 2 for classes in English.)

You will register for classes before arriving in Sevilla. You will be allowed to make changes to your schedule during the first week of classes.
The minimum number of credit hours per semester is 12.
As is true for registration at your home college or university, it is the responsibility of each student to make sure that (s)he has officially registered all course changes with the program.
You are expected to attend classes regularly, take all exams as scheduled by the professor, and turn in written work as required for the individual course. In no case will the COWA staff come to your defense if you receive a low grade in a course due to your failure to attend class or to turn in written work.
All grades (notas, calificaciones) in courses will be based either on a number scale (1-10, 10 being the highest grade) or the words sobresaliente, notable, aprobado, suspenso. Students will need to receive a grade of 5 or aprobado to receive credit at UNC. The grades you earn will not count towards your GPA unless you receive a failing grade. Failing grades will be calculated into your UNC GPA as an F. Please refer to the credit information on the UNC Study Abroad website.
