About the Program

“This program introduced me to a foreign culture unlike any other - complete with incredible artwork, fantastic food, and an insightful education - and left me with an unforgettable list of experiences and friends. My three weeks there were the most unique and well-spent of my life.”Will Feeney, 2011

In this study abroad program in Spain, academic work breaks out of the classroom and into the city itself, providing an exciting and mind-expanding journey into Barcelona's art, culture, traditions, and heritage.

Students in the program share a common three-course curriculum taught in English, supplemented by a Spanish-language workshop. See Courses.

Two Fridays in Spain are devoted to program-related travel, geared toward expanding upon and enriching course content. See Travel.

Students live at a University of Barcelona residence hall. See Housing.

The group is accompanied throughout the program by the Columbia University High School Programs Site Director, Evelyn Tavarelli.
