| The Florida State University Valencia Program is rapidly becoming one of our most sought-after international programs. The city’s European/Latin setting, two-millennium history, and new-millennium modernity combined with our state-of-the-art Florida State Study Center attract students in virtually every field of study. Valencia is an excellent entrée to both Spanish-speaking and continental cultures, and is a major Mediterranean port, rich with opportunities in all areas related to sea trade and shipping.
Note: Internship applicants must have an advanced level of proficiency in both Spanish comprehension and conversation. Total immersion in Spanish language and culture is part of the internship. Education Interns at the primary and middle school levels are not required to have a Spanish language background.
