Schedule and Courses in Madrid

Course Schedule

Courses depend on academic performance during the summer in Vermont and upon previous studies, needs, interests, and MA degree option. Students will not be allowed to register for the School in Spain if their conduct or academic performance during the summer is judged unsatisfactory.

Courses at the Sede Prim (SPAN) are organized by Middlebury College for its own students. Depending on the degree program and specialization, students will also enroll in courses at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) or the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M).
