 The
semester program at Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso allows
intermediate and advanced students to take classes in the Spanish
language and elective courses with locals. Students are required
to take Communicational Spanish (90 hours) and Spanish Composition
(46 hours). Students will participate in an orientation week where
they will be tested on their knowledge of Spanish. The results
will enable advisors to help students chose which electives with
locals would be best for them. You will be able to enroll courses
in the following subject areas: Agriculture, Art and Music, Sciences,
Business and Economics, Geography, Law, Journalism, and Religious
Studies. The contact hours for your elective will depend upon
the elective(s) for which you have enrolled upon arrival at the
university. Students can take a maximum of 3 elective courses
(in addition to the required communication and composition classes.)
The semester/year long program at Universidad
Catolica is best suited for the intermediate to advanced students.
The semesters are 20 weeks long and allow students to take elective
courses only in Spanish with local students. None of the classes
are taught in English. If you do not have a sufficient level of
Spanish it is possible to enroll in an immersion program prior
to your classes at Universidad Catolica.
There are two semesters per year: The North American Fall and
Spring:
