U.S. UNIVERSITY CREDIT

Many North American university students that attend our schools as individual students or as part of a group program are interested in receiving credits at their university for attending a course in Spain. We understand that each university has different administrative procedures, course requirements, and transfer credit protocol.  For this reason we have arranged several different methods for students to use in order to receive university credit for one of our courses.

If you are a US university student interested in receiving credit for attaining one of our courses, follow one the of the three methods described below.  If you have any questions, contact us.

The first method is working directly with Escuela Internacional and the university in question. 

You should check with your university's Department of International Programs or whichever department makes decisions about transfer credit, and give them the information in our general course brochure. Universities normally require additional information in order to decide if they will grant credit and how much credit to grant.  This is why we have prepared detailed program descriptions, actual syllabi, CV's of our professors etc…to provide your university with.   Have the person in charge of deciding about the course credit contact us or provide us with their name and mailing address and we will provide them with a copy of our Manual for Universities that contains the additional information and detailed descriptions.

More complete versions of these materials are kept at Escuela Internacional and can be provided upon the request of a university staff person.

The second method is working with Academic Assessment Associates Internacional.  AAAI can also help students interested in receiving credit for one of our courses. Students and professors can find all of the pricing information, forms and procedure information on their web page at www.aaaixcredit.com. All a student needs to do is:

1. Visit AAAI’s web page and contact them with any questions that you might have about the procedure information or the credit transfer process.
2. Contact E.I. with any questions that you might have about the course, accommodations, activities, visas, Spain, etc…
3. Choose the program/course that best meets the student’s needs. If the student is studying abroad to fulfill certain requirements, please make sure that the student’s advisor, professor or teacher agrees with the course choice. If anyone (including parents and professors) has questions, please have them call +1 305-666-8838. AAAI will be happy to answer them. 
4. Register directly with Escuela Internacional for the course that they want. All payments for the course are also to be made directly to E.I.
5. Enroll separately with AAAI for credit.

The third method is working with Eastern Washington University.  EWU is one of the many universities that already grants credits to its students for attending our courses.  EWU also has a process similar to that of AAAI that allows non-EWU students to acquire transfer credits for some of our courses.  Please contact us for more information.

UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS RECOMMENDATION

Dr. Robert L. Norton Professor of Modern and Classical Languages. Southwest Missouri State University Springfield, Missouri

Approximately five years ago, I developed our summer intensive Spanish-language program with the staff of the Escuela Internacional. My objectives were to provide our students with top-quality instruction in small, multilevel group sessions, to extend Spanish practice in homestay-accommodations and to include cultural excursions and travel experiences in Spain for our university group. Now, the experiences with three programs, (1996, 1997, and 1998) have proved highly successful regarding language objectives. Students at all levels of entry instruction, from minimal to advanced, made rapid progress in Spanish. The homestays extended language practice opportunities, while the cultural travel component provided interest and personal knowledge of many cities, historical sites and museums in Spain. The many successes of the intensive Spanish program are shared by the efficient administrative support of the Escuela Internacional staff and, in great part, by the professional and enthusiastic teachers in each level of instruction. Courses are well-coordinated throughout the day and there are optional events including films, music, and social excursions during the evenings. I am very pleased that our collaboration continues to develop a high-quality student experience from limited budget resources. This is one of the most popular study-abroad programs on our campus.
