The program combines coursework, related lectures, internships, and company visits. In additi<strong>on</strong>, students have the opportunity to directly enroll in regular University courses. Online Placement Exam Prior to departure for Seville, all students are required to take a CIEE <strong>on</strong>line placement exam during the scheduled exam period: mid-November to mid-December for the spring semester and mid-May to mid-June for the fall semester. The purpose of this exam is to determine the student’s level of Spanish for appropriate placement in language courses. Students should take this exam seriously, as placement in many upper-level courses depends up<strong>on</strong> a high <strong>on</strong>line placement exam score. Academic Culture All CIEE Business and Society courses (SEBS) are held at the Universidad de Sevilla School of Ec<strong>on</strong>omics and Business. Students may also choose to take <strong>on</strong>e or more regular university courses with Spanish students at the School of Ec<strong>on</strong>omics and Business or at the Universidad Pablo de Olavide. CIEE Study Center courses offered during the fall semester finish before Christmas, while regular University courses have exams in January. While CIEE students may request permissi<strong>on</strong> for early University exams, CIEE does not guarantee approval of such requests by the University. In the spring, the exam period for regular university classes is late June. At the end of the fall semester, academic year students have a break in late December and early January for holidays celebrated in Spain, and are not required to repeat the Intensive Sessi<strong>on</strong> in January. Students who are enrolled in regular university classes must be back in Seville by the 6th of January to c<strong>on</strong>tinue with their classes and take their final exams. Students who choose to take the advanced literature class during the spring semester intensive sessi<strong>on</strong> must be back in Seville by the third week of January. All other academic year students return the first week of February. If an academic year student does not take a course during the spring intensive sessi<strong>on</strong>, he or she must take five classes during the semester. During the spring semester, two vacati<strong>on</strong> periods take place: Semana Santa and Feria de Abril. The dates are not fixed, but students are normally free the week before Easter (Holy Week) and again for a week approximately two weeks after Easter. While extracurricular activities and pers<strong>on</strong>al travel c<strong>on</strong>tribute greatly to the student’s overall experience, attendance is mandatory for both classes and required events. Early departure for or late return from vacati<strong>on</strong> is not allowed. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program, during the vacati<strong>on</strong> periods, or up<strong>on</strong> completi<strong>on</strong> of the program. Nature of Classes CIEE classes are with other CIEE students and not with Spanish students. Students registered in regular University classes take classes with Spanish students. CIEE Community Language Commitment Students take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Spanish at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that c<strong>on</strong>tributes to both Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society. Grading System In most CIEE courses, students are graded <strong>on</strong> the basis of mid-term and final examinati<strong>on</strong>s, papers, class attendance, and participati<strong>on</strong>. In some Universidad de Sevilla and Universidad Pablo de Olavide courses there may also be term papers, and in others, an oral final exam with the professor or a written final exam of the essay type. Numerical grades are given based <strong>on</strong> a 10-point scale and c<strong>on</strong>verted to the U.S. grading system. Writing Center and Tutorials CIEE has a writing center staffed by language professors and Spanish students majoring in Spanish philology. CIEE organizes tutorials for students to help them in reading, writing, comprehensi<strong>on</strong>, and speaking, which may help them progress more readily in those c<strong>on</strong>tent courses taught exclusively in Spanish. Tutorials are also offered for regular University courses. about seville Capital of Andalusia, Seville was <strong>on</strong>e of the last footholds of the Moorish empire that ruled the Iberian Peninsula. It is home to the ingenious barber of Seville and the tempestuous Carmen. The great Renaissance painters Velázquez and Murillo were born here, and Ferdinand and Isabel ruled Spain from the royal apartments in the Alcazar Palace. Though the city preserves its past, modern Seville is the commercial hub of Andalusia. For a city of fewer than 800,000, Seville offers amazing cultural activities, from flamenco to classical, pop, and jazz c<strong>on</strong>certs. where you’ll <str<strong>on</strong>g>study</str<strong>on</strong>g> Students <strong>on</strong> the Business and Society program take classes at the Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, and the CIEE Study Center.
