SPAIN SPRING SEMESTER PROGRAM

Courses

The Temple in Spain spring semester program is comprised of coursework in Spanish language, literature, translation, history and art. All students enroll in one of two tracks, Intermediate or Advanced, depending on their Spanish language background. Courses are taught by native Spanish-speaking professors of the University of Oviedo, and by Temple University faculty member Dr. Jaime Durán. Students enroll in a total of fifteen credits, choosing five courses from the possibilities offered.

Intermediate level students are required to enroll in the following two courses:

***Spanish 4183 is a repeatable course and therefore remains a requirement for students who have previously taken this course in any location besides Oviedo.

Notes:

• Depending on enrollment numbers, some courses may not be available every year.
• Temple tudents who successfully complete the Temple in Spain semester program automatically satisfy the International Studies requirement of the Core Curriculum or the World Society requirement of Gen Ed.
• The prerequisites required for Spanish 2001, 2096 and 3096 do not apply for study abroad in Oviedo.
