Academics Location
At Instituto Franklin, the international institute of the University, students can choose from approximately 40 courses in six different disciplines: language-including Spanish for heritage learners; Spanish and Latin America literature; humanities; social sciences; international relation and business. Almost all courses are taught in Spanish; therefore, it is recommended that students take at least one or two semesters or Spanish prior to study at the Instituto Franklin. Advanced Spanish students can take courses across the curriculum at Alcala University with Spanish students. Several departments at the University (English, American Studies, and business) have extensive offerings in English.
