Experience a summer abroad studying sports management! This program, affiliated with the University of Barcelona, offers students the opportunity to acquire a global vision of the dynamic, diverse, and quickly changing sports industry.
Location
Home to the 1992 Olympic Games and the famous Barça soccer team, Barcelona is a hub of sports activity. In addition to sports related field trips, tours to the Born historic neighborhood, Picasso museum and the nearby beach town of Sitges offer a chance to lose yourself in the impressive city and surrounding areas of Barcelona.
Accommodation and Meals
Students will be housed in self-catered apartments with shared occupancy bedrooms. Upgraded private bedrooms are available at an additional cost. Typical residences house 2-8 students and contain a combination of private and shared bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living areas. Furnishings, a washing machine, basic kitchen supplies, bed linens and towels are provided. All apartments are equipped with wireless internet.
Students will be responsible for their own meal costs. Though the individual spending habits of each student will vary, please see the budget information below for an estimate of the average out-of-pocket meal expenses.
Program Travel
Students will arrange their own round-trip travel to Barcelona and will be provided with suggested flight dates and arrival times. For budgeting purposes, estimates are provided below. Students who wish to have the cost of their flight billed directly to their MU accounts should contact the Director of Study Abroad to make arrangements through MU’s preferred travel agency. Transportation from the Barcelona airport directly to your accommodation will be provided. Once in Barcelona, all program-related travel is included in the program fee.
Academics
Students will be enrolled in 5 credits of AFNR _0590, an International Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources “placeholder” course. This “placeholder” enrollment corresponds to the 10 ECTS credits in which students will be enrolled at SAI. At the conclusion of the program, final grades are issued by SAI. These credits transfer back to MU on an A/F basis, with 10 ECTS credits transferring as 5 MU credits.
Students must complete a Course Proposal for Study Abroad with assistance from the CAFNR Director of Study Abroad. Once this is completed, students will work with their advisors to determine how the credits will count toward their individual graduation plans.
