Step into another culture and see for yourself how people
half a world away live, learn and grow. Your opportunity awaits through
the Marquette University Study
Center in Madrid. Founded in
1965, the Study Center will immerse you in the language and culture
of this beautiful, exciting and historic European city.
You will experience the city in its natural
glory through exploring places like the Parque del Retiro, a favorite
spot for Study Center students.
Shop in the markets and small stores, sample Spanish cuisine at cafés,
tapas bars and restaurants. Live the culture through the many festivals,
theatre, music, dance and other entertainment offered. And you can
do all of this easily and affordably with Madrid’s excellent
mass transit system.
Nestled inside this cultural capital is a city
with a surprising small-town feel. The neighborhoods of Madrid where
you’ll live when you
participate in the Marquette Study Center are warm and friendly places,
each with its own unique charm.
Immerse Yourself
You can get to know Spanish students just like you! Through
the Study Center’s optional intercambios (language exchanges),
you will have the opportunity to interact with Spanish students studying
English at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. And if that’s
not enough, lace up your tennies and join the Club de Deportes where
you’ll be able to participate in university intramural soccer,
rugby, basketball and other sports. There are many opportunities to
live, learn and grow—intellectually, emotionally, physically
and spiritually.
Throughout your learning experience and adventure in
Spain, Marquette Study Center staff will provide you with personal
attention from your initial inquiry through the program, to reacclimating
upon your return back to the States.

usage of Complutense’s facilities—libraries, computers,
