Do you dream of exploring winding streets with the sound of Spanish guitar floating through the air? Or smelling the deliciously citrusy orange trees as you and a friend watch a free Flamenco show in Plaza de Sevilla? Seville has an incredible history, and is beautifully located between the Sierra Morena Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. As the fourth largest city in Spain, it’s also well connected to the rest of Spain and Europe by train and plane.

A group of Drake University students will be joining our DU Spain: Drake Semester in Seville, together with Professor Ellen Yee, for the Spring 2023 semester in Seville, Spain. Students will enroll in one Drake course, as well as courses at a local university. Students don’t need a background in Spanish to participate in the program.

We’re also excited to share that the first 10 students who commit to the program will receive a $500 grant to discount the program, as well as a $3,000 scholarship from our program partner, API. This means the non-tuition fees (room & board, included excursions, and international health insurance) will be under $2,500 for the first 10 students who commit.

We recommend that students apply by Thursday, Sept. 1, so they’re also considered for a Drake University Global Learning Scholarship. Students need to commit and pay a deposit for the program by Thursday, Sept. 15.

Courses taken in Seville can be pre-approved to count toward your major(s), minor(s), concentration, and/or AOIs (with courses offered both in English and in Spanish). Students also have access to their Drake financial aid while studying abroad on this approved program.
