Bilbao, Spain Summer Program
International Spanish Studies Program in Bilbao-SPAIN
The Bilbao Summer Program is a three or five week session, with an optional tour to Santiago or another city of cultural, historic and artistic significance.
On the Santiago Tour/Field Study, you will hike for four days on the last 100 kilometers of the medieval pilgrim path of Santiago. The Camino de Santiago is a spiritual journey that pilgrims of all faiths and backgrounds have traversed for over a thousand years. You will experience this truly unique, introspective journey while learning more about Spain's history and culture.This program is ideal for those unable to participate on semester or year-long programs.

The uniqueness of the Bilbao Summer Program allows students to develop an international bilingual career.
Students may focus on two specific academic areas:
- Spanish language
- Spanish Cultural studies
These fields are not exclusive of one another and students can combine courses from both areas, up to a total of four credits. This allows students to complete one semester of language studies in one session. For those who have already taken Spanish, or those who wish to study exclusively in English, this program offers courses taught in English.
These academic windows are complemented by the opportunity to experience the culture through personal interaction with local students and field trips to sites of social, historic, artistic and economic interest.
Students from Indiana University will take classes at the University of the Basque Country(UPV) premises through the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC). USAC is a consortium of some 30 American universities that has been developing programs with the University of the Basque Country for 25 years.
