Longwood University:
For the fifth year in a row, Longwood University has been ranked among the best by U.S. News & World Report. In its newly released 2003 survey of colleges and universities, U.S.News ranks Longwood as the 10th top public university--master's in the South. U.S. News bases its rankings on academic reputation, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving. Longwood University was also named a "Best Buy" in America's 100 Best College Buys (1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000), a national publication which profiles the highest academically rated schools with the lowest annual costs.
Founded in 1839 in Farmville, Virginia, Longwood University is a coeducational, comprehensive state University offering programs leading to bachelor's and master's degrees in a wide variety of subjects, including the Curriculum and Instruction Specialist in Modern Languages Programs with concentration in Spanish, leading to the Master of Science in Education. Longwood University's Office of International Affairs currently sponsors 27 programs in 18 countries.
Accreditation:
Una familia española en Valencia
Housing:
We sometimes receive inquiries from those who wish to arrange their own lodging. Below are our policies for those who will not need the room and board for the Summer Institute for Spanish Teachers:
1. Participants who will not stay with host families arranged by the program must make arrangements to stay with native Spanish speakers. If the participant is a native Spanish speaker, then this requirement is not necessary. In all cases, the lodging arrangements must be such that there is opportunity to interact with Spaniards on a daily basis.
2. Participants who meet the conditions for the above stipulation
will pay the standard program price according to their residency (Virginia
resident or resident of other states), and the amount of the room and board
will be refunded to them by the Institute of Spanish Studies.
Requirements for Admission:
Participantes en clase (Instituto 2000)
You may choose one or two courses (three or six graduate credits). Please be advised, however, that due to the very short length of the program, those choosing to take two classes will be very busy, and may not have as great a chance to take advantage of the cultural opportunities offered by socializing with family members, etc. This is a very intensive program, and those who would like to have a little free time should take only one of the classes.
Requirements for all classes include attendance and participation in the classes, participation in the cultural activities and visits, some readings and short essays, an exam, and a research style paper to be completed after the end of the program and mailed to Longwood University. In some cases, you may receive materials to read before the start of the program. Click on course title for syllabus.
