Through
the Center for Cross Cultural Studies, Niagara University provides
students with a vibrant cultural experience in the historical city
of Seville. In our semester, academic year, January term and summer
sessions, we offer programs of academic excellence, all grounded
in the cultural richness of Seville, and of Spain. The summer program
offers intensive academics and a rich cultural experience with
students living in Spanish homes.
Students seeking practical experience and Spanish language immersion should consider applying for a summer Practicum in Education in Seville. The program is a seven-week experience tailored for students with an interest in Education and Spanish. Participants will provide formal English instruction, as well as introduce aspects of US culture to Spanish students (aged 4-12) through arts and crafts, computers/technology, games, and theme weeks. The following criteria must be fulfilled in order to be considered for this opportunity:
