“Barcelona is a unique city in which to live and study,” touts the SRJC SAP website. “In Barcelona, students see for themselves the taste, elegance and aesthetic sensibility that marked the Modern Age.” Barcelona’s location in South Western Europe allows participants the opportunity to travel easily in the Mediterranean, Western Europe and northern Africa while participating in the program.

The program is open to students who have completed 12 units of college course work, have a minimum 2.25 grade point average, are 18 years or older and have graduated from high school. The schedule of courses has not yet been finalized.
