  Málaga, Spain   Dickinson offers three programs in Málaga: 1) a full academic year; 2) a fall or spring semester only program, or 3) a language-intensive Summer Immersion Program.

Dickinson College offered its first full-year study abroad program in Spain in 1985 in cooperation with the Universidad de Málaga. Since that time, Dickinson has expanded its offerings in Málaga and now runs a comprehensive program that focuses on Spanish language and literature, culture and society and includes internships and courses in economics and international business. Program participants have the opportunity to sample courses offered at the Teatinos campus of the Universidad de Málaga, which has eight schools and institutes and more than 50,000 students. For Dickinson students, this is an opportunity to integrate in Spanish university life and to see how the experience of attending a large university compares to that of attending a small liberal-arts college.  Internships are available only in the spring semester to full academic-year students.  Please consult the Center for Global Study and Engagement  for more information.

Application Deadline: Spring semester, Sept. 15. Fall semester or full year, Feb. 15.

Special requirements: 3.0 GPA and Spanish 231 at Dickinson College
