The Language and Culture Program at the Universidad Veritas offers students the opportunity to complete a Spanish language course and select from an incredible variety of elective course offerings in English or Spanish. Students participating in the quarter program complete one intensive, 4-week Spanish course (representing a total of 80 contact hours) and three elective courses. Contact hours for each elective course range from 48 to 60 hours and students are advised that their home institution could choose to award between 3-4 U.S. semester credits for each elective course. All students will complete a Spanish placement test online prior to their departure to determine their Spanish level. Students who select the early-start option in either the fall or spring trimesters complete one additional 4-week, Spanish intensive course prior to the start of the standard quarter. Academic Year students complete the standard fall, winter and spring quarters at Veritas. transcripts API students receive a transcript from the Universidad Veritas upon completion of their program.
