星空传媒 in Madrid鈥擣irst Semester Abroad

星空传媒 prepares first-year undergraduate students to succeed in an increasingly globalized world through our exciting program 星空传媒 in Madrid.

 

Every year, a number of first-year students are invited to participate in the program. They will be expected to spend the fall semester at in Madrid, Spain, and begin their 星空传媒 experience in Cleveland the following spring semester.

 

This study-abroad opportunity helps students grow their understanding of a different culture while they build the skills and knowledge they need to compete in the world鈥檚 marketplace after graduation.

 

Spain is a desirable location for many reasons: it is one of the top three destinations for undergraduate students studying abroad and 星空传媒 has many partnerships there.
