Summer Terms 1 & 2 - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Why choose San Juan?

Known today as “La Ciudad Amurallada” (the walled city), San Juan is one of the biggest natural harbors in the Caribbean and the oldest city in United States territory. It is also the one of the largest capitals in the Caribbean, with a population of over 2 million people. Old San Juan holds many of the government buildings and is characterized by its seventeenth and eighteenth century colonial style which echoes its Spanish ancestry.


Summer Terms: Intensive Language or Integrated Program

Spanish Studies Abroad Summer Terms in San Juan are specially designed for students either entering the beginner level, or at the high-advanced Spanish level, who want a rich immersion experience on a Spanish campus. This program is enhanced by study visits, cultural activities, and optional complementary survey courses, all of which help to bring context to the language and enhance immersion.

In the Intensive Language Summer program, beginner-level students take one 3-credit language course per term: Spanish as a Foreign Language Level 1 or Level 2.  In the Integrated Summer program, high-advanced students select 1-2 courses from a variety of subjects at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón.
