Students will earn college credits upon successful completion of their studies. Two (2) or five (5) U.S. college credits can be earned depending on the length of the program. Students can live in a residence hall or with a host family, allowing for more time to practice their Spanish outside of the classroom. Most classes will be held in the mornings, allowing for participation in Aspire cultural and recreational activities in the afternoons.

Spain, stretching sun-drenched and untamed to the south of the majestic Pyrenees, is a passionate nation that combines its superb artistic and natural heritage with an infectious, go-ahead dynamism.
Salamanca is an ideal Spanish location to spend the summer learning Spanish language and culture. It is considered one of the most spectacular Renaissance cities in Europe, and Salamanca’s Plaza Mayor is said to be the most beautiful plaza in Spain. Through the centuries, the sandstone buildings have gained an exquisite golden glow that has given Salamanca the nickname “la Ciudad Dorada” - the Golden City. The breathtaking Catedral Vieja and Catedral Nueva rise above the city, overlooking the river Tormes and the Roman Bridge. Students can experience the history of this magical city on their way to and from Spanish language classes, walking the streets to the plaza and through the archways of the old quarter. The university area, the winding streets, the inviting architecture, and the warm people welcome newcomers to this enchanting city.
