Spring Semester in Seville
(January 18-May 12, 2012)
Located in Seville, this program draws upon the resources of both the University of Seville and the International College of Seville (ICS). Both border a beautiful park near the center of the city with easy access to the many cultural and historical attractions of Seville. In addition to the historical sites such as churches, palaces and museums, Seville also has modern transportation, many hotels, restaurants, and theatres. At the International College of Seville (ICS), students select Spanish language courses from elementary through advanced. Prior study or proficiency in Spanish is not required. Course work is also offered in English in a variety of subjects, including History, Political Science, Literature, and Business/International Trade. Several courses are taught in both Spanish and English. Students who are proficient in Spanish language may take upper-level courses taught in Spanish by University of Seville faculty at the University; these courses are designed for visiting overseas students and are offered on a semester basis. Students have the option of living with Spanish host families or in supervised "residencias." Homestay is very much encouraged as the optimal way of becoming immersed in the culture. There is a field trip program featuring trips to local events and places as well as travel to cities in the region. For more information, please see the "Spain Program" link.

Cusco (January 19-May 12, 2012)
Students can choose to study abroad at Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola (USIL) at their campus in Lima or in Cusco.

Spacious classrooms, laboratories, a library, student center, cafeteria and an on-campus restaurant all serve to complement the students' academic program. USIL in Lima has a dynamic student population because it hosts international students from more than 90 universities throughout the world through exchange programs. Students may enroll in any of the 22 academic programs USIL offers, some of which are taught on the Lima campus both in Spanish and English. Students may also choose to study abroad at USIL's recently opened international center in Cusco, which is housed in a 16th century building with ancient Incan stones lining the classroom walls. Cusco is also the gateway city to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu, which is an amazing stone settlement in the Peruvian Andes and the most important and beautiful legacy of the ancient Peruvians. During their time in Peru, students will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Machu Picchu. Students in both Lima and Cusco will live in La Casa Don Ignacio, a student residence that provides all the amenities a study abroad student will need, such as 24-hour front desk, medical assistance, airport pick-up upon arrival and departure, wireless internet, computer room, and common kitchen areas/dining rooms. Both program locations offer students the opportunity to advance their studies, exchange knowledge with professors and local students, gain international experience, and visit a country with many tourist attractions and exquisite cuisine.

Semester in Heidelberg, Germany
Intensive Language Program or the European Studies Program
(January 9-April 27, 2012)
Students can choose to participate in either the European Studies Program (ESP) at Schiller International University or the Intensive Language Program (ILP) at the International House Heidelberg – Collegium Palatinum. Heidelberg, one of Germany's most beautiful and beloved cities, has long been a center of university education. Located on the slopes of densely forested hills, Heidelberg is about an hour's train ride from the major urban center of Frankfurt, with access to famous scenic spots such as the Black Forest regions, and is within a few hours' drive from Munich and the Swiss and Austrian Alps. For the ESP, students live in one of two student residences, where they cook for themselves and have either a double or single room, with shared showers, bathrooms and kitchens located on each floor. There is a library, computer lab and bistro downstairs from the dormitories. Wireless internet is available throughout the Schiller campus. For the ILP, students have two housing options. The first is in private accommodation with a German host family. This is the most ideal option for students who are looking for exposure to everyday life in Germany. Accommodation with a host family includes two meals a day and does have an additional cost. The second housing option is in the student residence located on the campus of Schiller International University. Both programs offer students an opportunity to meet international students from all over the world.
