About The Program
Join UC students in Barcelona for an unparalleled academic and cultural adventure. Designed for business majors seeking a blend of academic rigor and cultural immersion, this program offers courses taught in English, with options for Spanish language study up to an intermediate level and academic internships with local companies. This semester program stands out as the only one in Spain that combines extensive cultural activities, offers comprehensive housing support, has the option to gain practical work experience through an internship, and is tailored to fit the UC spring semester calendar, ending in May. Discover Catalan culture through weekly activities and weekend excursions. See the iconic Basilica de Sagrada Familia, take a churro and chocolate tasting tour, and discover Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Academically, the program meets the growing demand for business studies. While some courses may require upper-division standing, the program welcomes sophomores and above.
