faculty-led summer study abroad program

AIP Language Institute gives intermediate-level students the opportunity to learn Spanish in Spain.

This program consists of four intensive weeks of Spanish instruction in June and four days visiting the most famous museums and monuments in Madrid and Toledo.

While in Valencia the students will study the history and culture of Spain and the Spanish language with faculty members of the UNT Spanish Dept. and the AIP Language Institute.

Organized by University of North Texas in Denton, and designed for intermediate to advanced level students of Spanish interested in rapidly improving their language skills and in acquiring an understanding of the Spanish culture.

They offer on-site support through AIP Language Institute. Their staff is available to help you with any academic or personal concerns that may arise while you are on our program. AIP will arrange your courses, housing, and cultural excursions; advise you on extracurricular activities, health care, and travel opportunities and help with the adjustment to daily life in Spain.

Our student ambassadors will also be pleased to help you with any questions you may have.

Participants are given the opportunity to live with host families and to experience Spanish culture first-hand. This is the perfect way to learn about Spanish families, customs, and cuisine.

It is also a great way to practice and improve your Spanish skills. The families provide room and board and a variety of services, including laundry.
