The Broad Curriculum program gives students the opportunity to earn credits in general requirements and elective courses while experiencing Valencia, surrounding areas of Spain, and neighboring European countries. Due to our new affiliation with Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, students can enhance their study experience by taking math and science courses at this facility while in Spain with Florida State. Please contact our office for more information.
Excursions
When participating in the Valencia, Spain Broad Curriculum program, students experience both local and more distant travel opportunities tied to critical means of academic study. Most courses allow a three-day weekend for explorations of the nearby ancient Roman city of Sagunto or castle towns such as Xátiva. Each term includes a very complete social cultural program with at least one visit activity per week. Friday trips are to nearby ancient cities, sailing, and mountain excursions or visits to castle towns. Students and faculty also spend three to four days in Madrid and/or Barcelona, Andalucia, Pyrenees Mountains or another region of Spain enjoying comfortable accommodations and visiting a wealth of important sites. During the fall and spring terms, students have a 10-day term break for extended personal travel.

Eligibility
This program is open to all interested students.
