About the Program

Picture yourself spending six weeks of your summer focused on speaking Spanish while living and learning in Barcelona, one of the world's leading tourist, economic, and cultural cities. Get to know Barcelona like a local student through our DiscoverIES: a unique blend of course-related and cultural field trips in Barcelona and beyond. Think of all the wonderful architecture you'll see, history you'll learn, local residents you'll meet, and all of the tapas you'll eat during your summer in Spain! Open to all language levels, this program provides you with the equivalent of more than an entire semester of Spanish language study. English-taught area studies classes are also available.
