International Summer Institutes
MSU Faculty Led Short-Term Study Abroad Institutes
This program features Spanish language, literature and cultural history, and is based at the University of Nebrija in Madrid, a city which has led Spain as the lively crossroads of Iberia since the Golden Age. In conjunction with the Nebrija summer program, faculty-led field trips in Madrid will include the incredible masterpieces of the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum, the Palacio Real, and historical walking tours throughout Madrid’s colorful neighborhoods. Also included are full-day excursions to any two out of the three options: Segovia, Salamanca and Toledo, whose Muslim, Jewish and Christian traditions made it a great center of religion and learning.
