U.S. students applying for long stay visas will now be asked to present a FBI background check. Students will be responsible for obtaining this background check. Make sure you order it at least 4 months before you plan to arrive to Madrid or you will not get your visa on time.For more information, click here.
Please note US Visiting students who plan to be in Madrid for only one semester do not need long stay visas and therefore do not need the FBI background check.
Students who apply to the Madrid Campus recognize the value of a traditional American, Jesuit university education, and are also looking for something unique. SLU-Madrid seeks individuals who are curious to meet new people, travel to new places and contemplate new ideas and ways of viewing the world as well as themselves.
Students who have completed more than 24 university credit hours or two semesters of full-time study at the university level should apply as transfer students. Students who transfer to the Madrid Campus are typically interested in majoring in Spanish, Communication, Political Science/International Relations, Economics and Business Administration/International Business. Transfer students from other disciplines are welcome to apply, but will ultimately have to transfer to the Saint Louis Campus (or any other American university) to finish their degree program.
Transfer students who have completed more than two years of university-level work should be aware that they must complete their final 30 credit hours at the Madrid Campus and that some majors may have additional requirements for graduation. Please see the following link for additional information: Information about transferring credits.
