Summer Term: May 19–July 5, 2008

The Madrid Internship Program offers students the opportunity to spend six weeks living, studying, and interning in Madrid, one of Europe’s liveliest and most exciting capital cities. This is an intensive program combining participation in a professional internship with a liberal arts course whose focus is either contemporary Spanish culture or twentieth-century Spanish writers. Students work between 25-30 hours a week at their internships and take one course at the Instituto Internacional in the late afternoon. The program thus provides students with the unique opportunity to combine experience in the classroom and in a Spanish workplace.

Students enroll in one liberal arts course and the internship course. Courses are taught at the Instituto Internacional en España. Students live in Spanish households and enjoy excursions within Madrid and to such cities as Sevilla, Toledo, and Segovia. Upon successful completion of the program, students earn eight Boston University credits.
