On arrival, students are tested for both written and spoken
competence. On the basis of this placement test, they are assigned
to the most appropriate level for their own benefit. The University
operates ten levels of Spanish instruction, which are in turn
divided into three areas: Spanish for Beginners level 1, 2,
3 and 4; Intermediate Spanish levels 5, 6, 7, and 8; Advanced
Spanish level 9 and 10. Students with a 7 level and above can
take the Spanish elective courses. However, most students will
enroll for courses per 5 week session.
Programs at the University are organized into
a 5 week session. Each session is equivalent to 2 classes and/or
six academic credits. Students have the option to take semester,
quarter or summer programs. Semester courses consist in 3 sessions
of 5 weeks each while a quarter consists on 2 sessions of 5 weeks
each. Summer programs are divided into two sessions.
