The program offers students the opportunity
to enroll directly in the University of Burgos (UBU), a modern university centered
in a medieval complex of buildings that was once part of the Camino de Santiago.
The program will provide an excellent opportunity for students who prefer to
live and study in a smaller city where there are very few Americans and very
little English spoken.
Upon arrival Burgos students will enroll in an on-site orientation which includes intensive language preparation. Students will enroll in courses offered by other UBU departments, including humanities, business administration, economics, and political science. Upon successful completion of
the program, students earn will earn 16 Boston University credits.
Because of the Spanish academic calendar, the Burgos program is available only
in the spring semester.
