Drake students are invited to join the DU Spain: Drake Semester in Seville with Professor Matthew Hayden for the Spring 2024 semester in Seville, Spain. Students will enroll in one Drake course, as well as courses at a local university in Seville. Students don’t need a background in Spanish to participate in the program, as both university partners offer courses in Spanish and English.

We’re also excited to share that students will receive a $2,000 scholarship from our program partner, API. This means the non-tuition fees (room & board, including excursions, and international health insurance) will be reduced by $2,000. Students can apply for additional study abroad scholarships for the spring 2024 semester through the Drake Global Learning Scholarship application found within their program application. Apply for a scholarship by August 15!

Students need to apply here and complete their spring 2024 study abroad application by Friday, September 1. More information about the coursework, including Prof. Hayden’s course titled, “Cultural Diffusion: Values in Art & Architecture,” can be found here. Courses taken in Seville cover a broad range of academic areas, including business, communications, humanities, international relations, psychology, sciences, and Spanish language and culture. Courses can be pre-approved to count toward your major(s), minor(s), concentration, and/or AOIs. Students also have access to their Drake financial aid while studying abroad on this approved program. Students can access the study abroad course approval form online.

Additionally, some J-Term 2024 travel seminars are still open and accepting applications. All affiliate and exchange programs will be open until the deadline of Aug. 15. The list of all open and available programs is on our website.
