Reunidas Courses (English Track)

Reunidas offers numerous special three-credit courses in the areas of business, finance, economics, communication, psychology and the arts for U.S.-based students only. All courses are taught in English by University of Madrid professors in the Geography and History building, where the WIP program office is located. Students on the English Track take courses with Complutense professors in English and be required to take one Spanish grammar course (either basic or intermediate). Professors that are selected to teach Reunidas courses have extensive experience working with foreign students. Academic expectations in Reunidas classes (a syllabus, midterm and final exams, homework assignments, attendance policies) are like those in U.S. classrooms. Students on the English Track may be allowed to take a course in Reunidas Spanish Track (on a case-by-case basis) if they have the sufficient level of Spanish for success.

The following is a tentative list of courses offered. You must consult the exact course offerings and the class schedules on the Reunidas webpage. These classes are offered both fall and spring semester. Please consult the exact course offerings in the materials you will be provided with during pre-registration, and also course information online:

Spanish Instructional Style

Be prepared to adjust to a different instructional style in Spain. However, you can expect a traditional lecture. Special attention is given to students’ ability to assimilate the reading and lecture material and accurately reflect this information on exams or in papers. Most professors do not solicit student comments in class or out. Nevertheless, many Spanish professors enjoy working with Americans who participate in a more dynamic learning environment. Regular class attendance is important. Reunidas professors are asked to inform the Resident Director if you miss more than three class hours, and absences more than three class hours will have a negative impact on course grades.
