Academics at SYA Spain

SYA Spain is committed to ensuring that students develop the knowledge and intercultural skills needed to fully grasp their experience — from mastering the language, to communicating in Spanish with a pen pal in another region, to hiking or kayaking in the Aragonese countryside or heading out of town with the host family for an extended weekend.

All students are required to take six courses, including Spanish language, English, math and Experiential Spanish. Students participating in the semester program will receive .5 credits per course while yearlong students will receive 1 credit per course.
