CASA Center in Seville

CASA-Sevilla has its own program center and offices located in downtown Seville, easily reachable by public transportation or on foot. The location is attractive and convenient, directly across from some of the main university buildings (the Schools of Psychology, Economics, and Labor Relations).

The Schools of Geography and History and Philology are a fifteen-minute walk from the CASA Centro, and students can easily get between the two sites for classes.

The program center occupies the seventh floor of the Viapol Building. Its facilities include a classroom, a study area, a reception and offices for the program director and program coordinator.

The center serves as a focal point for various activities--studying, socializing, discussing concerns or issues with program staff members, and receiving mail. In addition, program courses, intercultural mentoring sessions, tutorials and lectures take place there.

Students must understand that this is a Spanish immersion program and should be prepared to speak Spanish at all times in the Center, and preferably in all contexts throughout the entire stay. Accordingly, there is a Spanish-only language pledge in the center that is strictly enforced by program staff and that students must sign.
