Program Overview
This program is offered in collaboration with Veritas Christian Study Abroad at several universities in Sevilla, Spain. With a population of 690,000, Sevilla is the largest city in southern Spain and the fourth-largest in the country. It offers endless opportunities to learn about Spanish culture and history.
Located on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, this enchanting capital city of the region of Andalucía has become one of the most popular study abroad destinations for American students.
Veritas is a division of International Studies Abroad (ISA). You will be attending classes with ISA students as well as Veritas students.
Course Content
You are required to take a comparative religions course or an international missions/service-learning practicum taught by local Veritas staff. The remainder of the courses will be taken at the Universidad de Sevilla, ISA Study Center or at Universidad Pablo de Olavide.
Excursions
Veritas in Sevilla includes several excursions, including trips to Madrid, Cordoba, Granda, Lisbon, Portugal and Morocco (optional).
Housing
You will live in homestays with Spanish families and be provided with three meals per day (except on Veritas excursion days) and laundry service once per week for the official duration of the program. This is included in the Veritas program cost. Students usually share a bedroom with another Veritas student, but have the option of paying extra to secure an individual room.
