A group of students from Arizona University takes part in the cultural immersion courses at IE University

Arizona in Segovia 

The Tucson University of Arizona (USA) is regarded as an international model on technology and engineering studies. Thanks to an agreement with IE University, 44 of its students have come to Spain on a cultural and language immersion program. On the next six weeks, the will go to classes given by professors of both institutions not only in the Santa Cruz la Real campus, but also in different places around Segovia to learn about Spanish language, literature, culture and art.

The program has already 12 successful editions and continues to exceed the directors’, professors’ and students’ expectations, as they return practically bilingual to their country. In the old Santa Cruz la Real monastery, IE University headquarters, the newest technologies applied to education are integrated to the expertise of experienced teachers.

As in previous years, students are hosted on the homes of Segovian families so they can experience fully the Spanish culture and traditions, and when they go home, they are proficient in Spanish and have a deep knowledge of life in Spain. In addition, students are offered a number of activities such as guided visits around Segovia and trips to nearby towns.
