When class is in session, you’ll have the opportunity to enroll in courses at one of CIEE’s renowned partner institutions: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) or Universidad Antonio Nebrija (UAN). Both institutions are well known for their prestigious business programs. In addition to learning at a partner institution, you’ll choose from a wide range of elective courses at CIEE Madrid, including business topics and optional internship opportunities.  

Outside the classroom, you’ll have every opportunity to appreciate the program’s emphasis on culture by immersing yourself in the local community.

Your Destination

Madrid’s influence in politics, education, science, entertainment, media, fashion, and arts makes it an important international metropolis, and a major hub in southern Europe. Spain’s capital city is also its largest, boasting a historic center dating back to the Hapsburg Empire and world-renowned art museums. A huge variety of tapas bars, dance shows, concerts, outdoor parks, soccer matches, ethnic neighborhoods, and contemporary theater and cinema make it a lively place to live and learn.  

Only steps away from the historic Puerta del Sol, CIEE Madrid is located in the heart of downtown and its vibrant cultural offering. The UAN main campus is a 10-minute commute by train or bus from the CIEE center. The UC3M Getafe campus is a 40- to 60-minute commute by train to the south end of Madrid.  

CIEE wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. Local CIEE staff have provided details about conditions and cultural attitudes that students with specific identities might encounter in Madrid.

Projects

Internship: An internship in Spanish allows students the opportunity to gain practical work experience in a local company within a variety of industry sectors (startups, tourism, digital industries, marketing, etc.). In addition to the on-site business experience, students participating in an internship program have a weekly classroom seminar component, which provides academic support to their practical experience. Students must have a student visa to be able to comply with local labor laws.    

Directed Independent Research is for qualified students who have demonstrated academic rigor and curiosity toward a particular research topic. Independent research topics will be approved by the CIEE Madrid Director and must reflect a topic that is relevant to Madrid or Spain. To be considered for this course, students must submit a structured proposal with the topic of exploration and the significance of the research topic. Upon research completion, students will present their findings to a panel of academics.

Academics

The CIEE Business and Culture program offers students the opportunity to study Business in Madrid by choosing courses from one of CIEE’s partner institutions in Madrid (UC3M and UAN) as well as CIEE course electives, including the CIEE internship seminar.    

As you start planning for your time abroad in Spain, it’s helpful to consider how your academic experience at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) or Universidad Antonio Nebrija (UAN) may differ from what you’re used to on your US college campus, and how this enhances your scholastic learning. How will your learning preference adapt to a teacher-lecture method that emphasizes independent study? What challenges and opportunities do you anticipate with a different grading system using a 1-10 grade scale?  Think about any changes in your study habits when you register for direct enroll coursework at UC3M where nearly half your grade is based on only final assessment. Consider how your academic accommodation may require earlier and more frequent communication with CIEE staff before your arrival in Madrid.  What home school course requirements can be replaced with alternate course electives offered at the Spanish host university?

Attending the CIEE pre-departure online orientation is important as we review the steps for your successful course registration. CIEE collaborates closely with the local host institutions to advise students during the in-country registration add/drop period. One of the indirect benefits of host institution classes is that CIEE students can learn how to collaborate with students from different cultural backgrounds, while expanding their own international job career network, and gaining insight into the professional workings of a cross-cultural collaboration.

Universidad Antonio Nebrija (UAN) is a private university that hosts hundreds of international students each year. Known for its focus on Spanish language learning, UAN also offers CIEE students a wide range of business and culture courses through its International Program or Center for Hispanic Studies. These courses are taught in Spanish and English at its city center Madrid campus.   

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) was established in 1989 and is recognized as Spain’s most prestigious public institution of higher education. It follows a U.S. academic calendar system for US visiting college students and has one of the highest percentages of full-time and tenured female faculty in Spain. CIEE students take classes on the Getafe campus, which is the main UC3M campus, located 25-40 minutes outside of downtown Madrid via efficient and modern public transit. Depending on your housing location, your commute time to campus can vary from 40 to 70 minutes on public transportation because UC3M classrooms are located outside of Madrid’s city center.  

Arizona State University: Enhance your international academic coursework with optional online courses that best align with your degree requirements and interests. ASU offers thousands of online courses in asynchronous 7.5-week sessions that fit within the CIEE academic calendar, so you can study abroad with CIEE while continuing to meet all your academic goals.

GPA

Universidad Antonio Nebrija (UAN) - Students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. 

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) - Students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. 

Additional Requirements

  • UAN: Minimum sophomore standing at the start of the program.    
  • UC3M: At least three courses completed by the start of the UC3M semester in the following areas: micro- or macroeconomics, accounting, finance, management, or statistics.   

Please refer to the detailed Program Essential Eligibility Criteria.

Students are responsible for having their own course approval conversations with their advisors. Your study abroad advisor and CIEE staff can help you understand your course options if you don't see a recommendation that fits your course needs.

Academic Culture

Students should expect to maintain an active academic schedule that includes a variety of structured extracurricular activities with students from the local universities. Class attendance is mandatory, and coursework and exams are to be completed as assigned, on schedule. Class schedules are varied and, depending on your class group sections, are offered anywhere from Monday to Friday. When choosing host university courses, note that local students begin to study one area right away; they do not take general or core courses. CIEE students should not enroll in upper-level courses for subjects not previously studied in college. Students enrolled at UAN take classes in the International Program or Center for Hispanic Studies, with other international students. UC3M courses run from early September until early-mid-to- late December in the fall, and from late January to late May in the spring.

Early departure is not allowed in fall and spring. CIEE students take their UC3M final exams in December during the fall semester and in late May and early June during the spring semester.  

Class Format

Classes are typically scheduled Monday through Thursday, with only a few UC3M courses also extending into Friday classes. Students should expect to have continuous evaluation of their academic progress.   

Grading

In language classes at UC3M and UAN, students are typically graded on weekly quizzes, exams, attendance, homework assignments, oral presentations, and class participation. Grades in the content courses are generally based on class participation, a mid-term exam, research papers, oral presentations, and a final exam. Attendance is mandatory and absences affect final grades.
