The University welcomes applications from students currently enrolled in other colleges and universities who wish to spend a semester or two with us in Madrid. We normally expect applicants to have a minimun of 30 credits prior to arrival in Madrid. Ours is without question the most complete study abroad program available in Spain, so we receive applications from students all across the world. As admission for visiting students is competitive, take note that we're looking for students with solid academic backgrounds interested in a serious and innovative study abroad experience. To be admitted on a visiting basis, you must complete the visiting student admission application form and ask your registrar´s office to forward us your official university transcript.

Note: The admissions committee looks carefully at a student's academic record, level of Spanish, extracurricular interests, and reason(s) for wanting to study abroad. Competitive applicants will have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.

While a previous knowledge of Spanish is not a pre-requisite for studying on the Madrid Campus, students who have not completed at least one year of college-level Spanish and cannot demonstrate a fair level of fluency in the language will be required to enroll in beginning Spanish.

The language requirement will be waived for all summer applicants.
