Program Overview
Since 1979, the KIIS Spain I summer program has offered students intermediate Spanish-language study in the charming city of Segovia. The city retains the strong, traditional character of Old Castile and has a visible history that dates back to pre-Roman times. This mid-sized city enables students to immerse themselves in Spanish culture. Students learn about culture first-hand by visiting castles, museums, and other monuments, and by interacting with Spaniards in their homes, plazas, and cafés. Segovia also offers a weekly open-air market, picturesque plazas and cafes, a lively nightlife and frequent cultural events. A key feature of the KIIS Spain I program is that all students live with carefully chosen Spanish families in Segovia.
Note: Studying abroad likely is more physically strenuous than you are used to at home. KIIS study abroad programs typically involve approx. 5-10 miles of walking (approx. 10,000-20,000 steps) or the like in a day, including the possibility of walking, hiking, and climbing stairs in heat and humidity, over elevations at higher altitudes, and over rocky terrain. See Health & Wellness for more information.
All KIIS course credit is awarded by Western Kentucky University. Prior to your KIIS program, please speak with your home campus academic advisor and/or study abroad office to determine course equivalencies. Grades will be transferred to your home institution in mid-August after the completion of the program. Course offerings are subject to change according to enrollment. For more information, visit Transcripts & Grades.

To help you budget, keep in mind that you are responsible for the cost of obtaining a passport ($145), personal expenses (approx. $400-$800 depending on your spending habits/optional independent travel preferences), any class readings/materials, and any fees from your college/university.
