KEI: Study Abroad & Intern Abroad

STUDENTS

PARENTS

I studied Spanish in the USA, Central America and Spain, and in my opinion Burgos is the best location for an authentic Spanish immersion. Burgos was the capital of the Kingdom of Castile and the origin for Castilian Spanish. Exploring the the city, you cannot overlook the historic landmarks, markets, tapas bars, cafes and parks where students and families fill the streets in typical Spanish fashion. Read more reviews...

ACADEMICS

Academics: semester & year

The semester and academic year curriculum offers courses and internships (professional, community service, etc.). Courses are offered at the University of Burgos (UBU) and Escuala de Espanol (EDE). Internships are organized at various companies, NGOs and hospitals.

Students can enroll in a maximum of 18 credits per semester. Most courses are the equivalent of 3 semester credits; courses with a laboratory are equivalent to 4 semester credits; intensive Spanish language courses are 9 semester credits. Internships are 3 to 6 credits, depending on time commitment. The Spanish Society & Culture and Spanish Language courses are required. Contact KEI for course descriptions and syllabi.

Courses marked with an asterisk (*) are taught in English. The other courses are taught in Spanish with English support, which includes tutoring, and academic materials and exams in English. These 'English-friendly' courses are a great way to improve Spanish proficiency while earning major-specific and general education credit. Students with advanced proficiency may also enroll in courses (not listed on this page) taught in Spanish without English support. Contact KEI for more information.

Spanish language & area studies

Students have the option of enrolling in a regular (3 credit) or an intensive (9 credit) Spanish language course. The 3-credit Spanish language courses are offered at UBU. The 9-credit Spanish language courses are offered at EDE.
