Spain is one of the world's most popular study abroad destinations, and a wide variety of study abroad programs are available through US-based institutions. Spain's popularity among traveling college students is due in large part to the high demand for Spanish language classes. As the US increasingly becomes a bilingual society, more and more college students are seeking a high level of Spanish language instruction, and naturally many of them turn to Spain to find it. In addition, Spain offers a warm climate, natural beauty, exciting cities, and easy access to foreign travel destinations throughout Europe and North Africa.
The number of US-based study abroad programs to Spain is simply overwhelming. These programs differ widely in type, location, and quality, so it pays to do a bit of research ahead of time and pick a program with exactly the right combination of attributes.
Spain is a large and diverse country, so location makes a significant difference in any study abroad experience. Study abroad programs in Barcelona, for example, generally focus more on art, history, and culture than on language–this is no surprise given that Catalan, not Spanish, is the primary language there. Programs that go to Madrid, on the other hand, are typically focused more narrowly on the Spanish-language. In addition to the academic focus of the program, different locations make for different study abroad programs by attracting different sorts of students. American students who come to Andalusia, for example, often take breaks and weekends to travel in nearby Morocco, while those who choose the Balearic Islands as their destination are often more interested in beachside lounging than weekend travel.
While the majority of study abroad programs in Spain are based in major cities, there are many in more rural areas as well. Such programs often provide a deeper glimpse of Spanish society and culture than urban programs, especially since they typically include a homestay. Staying with a host family in rural Spain is a superb way to gain insight into aspects of Spanish life that students in urban programs may never glimpse.
Generally speaking, the best American study abroad programs in Spain are those that are structured around a partnership between an American and a Spanish university. Programs of this sort have the most reputable classes and provide a true immersion experience by placing American and Spanish students in the same classes and living quarters. In addition, they often offer classes in English so that students whose Spanish is less advanced can still get a meaningful academic experience.
