Study Abroad in Sevilla
The Department of Languages, Cultures & Applied Linguistics is pleased to offer an exciting study abroad program in Sevilla, Spain
CMU in Sevilla takes place at the Spanish Institute for Global Education.
City Information
Located in southern Spain, Sevilla is the largest city in Andalucia, with a population of over 700,000 people. Steeped in tradition, the city offers an amazing array of cultural activities, and is an ideal place to deepen your understanding of the Spanish language and Spanish cultures. At the height of the Spanish Empire, Sevilla was Spain’s most important and thriving city. Through its food, music and dance, and architectural styles, one can see the clear influences of Sevilla’s Moorish, Roman and Jewish histories. Several sites in Sevilla, including the Real Alcázar and the Cathedral, have been named UNESCO World Heritage sites. A third UNESCO site is the Archivo de las Indias, a rich archive of documents and maps tracing Spain’s past as a colonial power. Many of Spain’s most known traditions, such as flamenco, still flourish throughout the city.
