| 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.
