Students with a high-level of Spanish may take regular university classes with Spanish students. These are listed under the link Programa de Integracion Universitaria. For a listing by departments, click here. Juniata students will be considered 1st cycle (Primer Ciclo) students and can consult the list of courses by following the links for Plan de Estudios. The on-site staff we also help students select appropriate university classes.
