Welcome to

Summer in Seville: Literature & Culture

Program Overview

Make the most of your summer by taking your academics and Spanish fluency to the next level through full immersion in the culture, language, and daily life of Sevilla. As the capital of Andalusia, Sevilla offers a unique academic and cultural setting shaped by centuries of history and global influence.

Once a major Moorish kingdom and later the center of trade with the New World, the city is deeply connected to the traditions that define southern Spain – from flamenco and tapas to olive groves and local festivals. With a population just over one million, Sevilla provides all the opportunities of a large city while maintaining a welcoming, walkable atmosphere that makes it easy for students to feel at home during a summer abroad.

Literature & Culture Course Offerings

The Summer in Seville Literature & Culture program is offered in the summer term. All courses are UR courses and will transfer with the regular A-F grade scale. Students may earn up to 2 units.

Please check the UR program page for more information regarding course offerings.
