CIEE Economics and Culture Program in Barcelona, Spain
(Outgoing Program)
Host of the 1992 Summer Olympics, Barcelona is an ideal place to explore the economic impact of hosting a massive world-wide event. With innovative economic programs, thousands of years of culture and history, and a reputation as a key player in global business, learning opportunities are virtually endless for today's students. Guided day and overnight trips to other parts of Spain further enhance this international adventure.
Unique Experiences
ANALYZE CURRENT CHALLENGES FOR THE EUROPEAN ECONOMY
and explore the differences between European and U.S. economic models.
GET AN INSIDER'S LOOK
on the impact of European integration on Spain's economy.
STRENGTHEN YOUR INTERCULTURAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS
by completing group projects with Spanish students.
See for yourself why landmarks like Museu Picasso and Gaudi's La Sagrada Família engender awe from visitors around the world.
Take one-day trips out of the city to explore Catalonia, with highlights that could include Greek and Roman ruins at Empuries, the medieval town of Girona, and the lush wine region in Penedés.
Explore beyond Barcelona with a weekend trip within Spain or Europe, and get to know the history and culture of another Spanish or European treasure.
Internship
Get valuable international work experience with a for-credit internship. You might develop a marketing plan for the Museum of Chocolate in Barcelona, or use market research to see how social responsibility affects start-ups at Associacio Coworkings de Catalunya (COWOCAT).
Placements include start-ups, small to medium sized companies, and magazine and publishing houses, among others. Internships include a weekly class to support the experience with academics.
Language-Learning Enhancement
Lectures, films, discussion groups, and neighborhood tours are all possibilities that will expand your cultural knowledge while you practice speaking Spanish.

Native university students welcome our visiting students and help them get to know the city and meet new friends. You'll join them in small groups for fun city tours, cooking classes, flamenco night, and more.
