July
1st to July 31st (tentative
dates)
The
WPUNJ Summer in Spain is designed to provide students with language
and cultural instruction by immersion in the everyday life and cultural
activities of a typical Spanish university.
THE
PROGRAM
The trip will
start with a 2 day stay in Madrid with visits to museums and nearby
historical and architectural landmarks. The students will travel
to the University of Santiago de Compostela where they will participate
in courses for 2, 3 or 4 weeks (depending on individual’s needs).
The course in
Spanish culture, taught by WPU faculty, will incorporate field trips
to places relevant to the subjects studied. The language instruction
will be provided by the host University within its already well-established
summer program.
FACULTY
Professor María
P. Tajes will be teaching the culture classes and faculty on sight
might teach other courses.
WHO
MAY APPLY
The trip is open
to all students who have taken the language placement test. They
must be in good academic standing and provide
two letters of recommendation.
APPLICATION
PROCEDURE
Students will
fill out the application
form and will turn it to Dr. María Tajes, in Atrium 252 or Lorraine
