Program Description

Universidad Antonio de Nebrija is deliberately small and customized. Students from all over Spain and more than 30 countries fill its classrooms. This intercultural atmosphere guarantees a plurality of ideas and customs that enrich not only the students but the university as well.

Hunter students may apply for the Integrated Programmes or the Hispanic Studies Program at Universidad Nebrija. The Integrated Programmes offer a semester of subject courses taught in Spanish. Applicants must have a B2 level of Spanish (according to the Common European Framework Reference). The Integrated Programmes offer a semester of subject courses taught in Spanish, whereas the Hispanic Studies Program offers courses in Spanish language, literature, and culture.

All students participating in the exchange program are required to enroll in the CUNY comprehensive travel insurance policy through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI).
