BILBAO, SPAIN:

ISA offers two academic and cultural programs in Bilbao, Spain: Spanish Language & Culture and Spanish Language, International Relations, & Economics. Both programs are offered at the University of Deusto:

  • Spain's first and one of its most prestigious private universities
  • Founded by the Jesuits in 1886, it is revered as one of the most important academic institutions in all of Spain
  • Current Spanish president Zapatero and former president Aznar both walked its halls
  • ISA has taken its tradition of providing top quality academic offerings in language and culture a step further in Bilbao by taking advantage of Spain's oldest business school and designing a second program for those students interested in business, international relations, and/or politics

With Bilbao, you have an opportunity to venture into the north of Spain and experience study abroad in a way that most others will not.
