important change - study options in spain
The ůůֱ²¥ in Spain program has been suspended beginning in fall 2025. Instead, we encourage students to apply to one of the newly approved and existing off-campus study program options in Spain with our long-term partner CIEE. The approved CIEE program options in Spain have the same academic opportunities that were available with the ůůֱ²¥ in Spain program. Students will continue to have superior on-site support and a variety of co-curricular and social programming opportunities. CIEE also offers comprehensive pre-departure support, including visa assistance.

Students studying in Madrid during spring 2025 will continue to participate on the ůůֱ²¥ in Spain program, fully supported by OCSE and the ůůֱ²¥ in Spain program staff in Madrid. However, students planning for future study in Spain will apply for an approved program through CIEE.
