Spanish summer institute

(Summer MA program in Spanish)

Following the immersion principle, every June the Spanish Summer Institute offers two graduate courses over a four-week period divided into two two-week sessions. This program enables graduate students to earn an MA in Spanish over four summers of course work supplemented by additional courses taken during the fall or spring term/semester, transfer credits and/or study in Spain. All students may combine courses taken during the fall and spring terms/semesters with courses taken during the Spanish Summer Institute. Advanced undergraduate students may register for the Spanish Summer Institute and receive credits at the 4000 level.
