All courses are offered in Spanish by Complutense professors. Students take the required SPANS 4934 - Language, Culture and Society of Spain, a three-credit course, during orientation. Upon completion of orientation, students enroll in four to five courses (12-15 credits). Students choose from Reunidas consortium courses offered for U.S. students, as well as direct-enrollment courses at Universidad Complutense with Spanish students.
