If you're looking for a semester abroad that combines serious academics with one of Europe's most vibrant and culturally rich cities, the Semester at WorldStrides Global Campus in Seville, Spain is designed for you. This interdisciplinary program offers courses in international studies, business, economics, education, political science, and Spanish culture — all at the WorldStrides Global Campus, located near Seville's iconic Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa. Whether you're a complete beginner in Spanish or an advanced speaker, the program is open to students of all language levels, and you'll take a placement exam upon arrival to ensure you're enrolled in the right courses.

Your academic experience is both rigorous and culturally relevant. Each semester, you'll enroll in 4–5 courses taught in English or Spanish depending on your level, earning 12–17 recommended U.S. semester credits. Advanced Spanish speakers have the option to add a two-week intensive Spanish language session at the start of the term for deeper immersion. If you're an education major, you can take part in a teaching practicum, gaining hands-on classroom experience at a local school. Small class sizes and personalized academic support ensure you get the attention you need to thrive, and upon completion you'll receive an official transcript from the University of Rhode Island (beginning Fall 2026).

Seville itself is one of Spain's most captivating cities — famous for its flamenco performances, Moorish architecture, the stunning Real Alcázar palace, and a warm, welcoming culture that makes it perfect for immersive language learning. Your program fee includes cultural activities and excursions such as flamenco shows, cooking classes, and guided visits to historic landmarks, so you'll be exploring the city's soul both inside and outside the classroom. An in-depth orientation upon arrival helps you navigate city life, academic culture, and your new neighborhood from day one.

Support is built into every step of your experience. From the moment you land, WorldStrides staff greet you at the airport and remain available throughout your stay for practical help, local recommendations, and 24/7 emergency assistance. Mental health support and career resources are also included in your program fee, alongside housing, internet access, international insurance, and an official transcript — so you can focus entirely on making the most of your time abroad.

For those wanting a deeper commitment, this program is available for a full academic year, offering an even more immersive cultural and academic experience with 24–34 recommended U.S. semester credits. There is also a Study + Veritas option for Christian students, which adds faith-focused learning, mentorship through a Veritas Mentor, and local ministry service opportunities in Seville — including work with local missionaries, churches, and refugee communities. Whatever your goals, this program offers a structured, supportive, and genuinely transformative semester in one of Europe's most unforgettable cities.
