PROGRAM STRUCTURE            

With the Volleyball program, students must choose a minimum of 12 credits from our range of academic courses during a regular semester (spring or fall), and during the summer term a minimum of 3-4 credits each session. We offer courses in Spanish language, Spanish culture, Liberal Arts and Business among other areas of study. Alongside their studies, they are also placed in the local Sevillian volleyball team, for weekly training sessions and various friendly matches throughout the term. Due to the volleyball seasons in the US, we offer our Volleyball program to only female athletes in the Spring term and only male athletes in the Fall term. 

To learn more about the different academic programs that we offer through the fall/spring please visit our website here.

STUDENTS TESTIMONIALS

"My volleyball experience in Spain was one of a kind. It was a whole different experience since I was able to learn more about their differences in plays. The language barrier made it a little hard but it still pushed me to learn more about the language."
