Summer 2027 courses will be announced in November 2026. 

The program fee will be announced if the program is confirmed for the upcoming summer.

The fee for the Summer in Spain program includes all lodging, meals (group & individual), excursions, guest speakers, ground transportation, and international health & travel insurance coverage. Airfare is included in the program fee, using a voucher system, but does require all students to include a mandatory group flight to Madrid as part of the arrival routing. Students are responsible for booking their own airfare within parameters set by the course faculty.

Summer Tuition (2026): $6,240 per unit of credit.  $12,480 total for the 2-unit program.  Wild Card may apply to 1 block of tuition (see below)

WILD CARD: All students enrolling in their first CC summer course automatically receive a Wild Card grant which offsets (removes) the summer tuition charge. The Wild Card can cover the first unit of tuition, but the second would still be billed to the student. Students who have already utilized their Wild Card should anticipate paying the full summer tuition charge for both blocks. 

AID USE FOR THE SPAIN PROGRAM: Students who receive need-based aid to attend Colorado College are eligible for 2 Block Away Aid Awards, ranging from 20%-90% of the estimated program total cost. To receive aid for both the program fee and the 2nd unit of summer tuition, students would use both of these awards. 

A student who has two aid awards available to them and are selected for aid will receive both aid awards, one applying to the program fee and the other applying to cover the same percentage of the 2nd unit of tuition, with the expectation that the Wild Card would cover the first unit of tuition.

Students who have already utilized one of their 2 Block Away Aid Awards can receive only 1 Block Aid award, which will support 20%-90% of the program fee, but will not remove the charge for the 2nd unit of tuition. Again, students who also have already utilized their Wild Card for an earlier summer course will be billed for both units of summer tuition ($12,480) without support from their aid award.

Application instructions will be provided when the 2027 course is announced. 

ALERT:  Due to demand, the Summer in Spain program requires student interviews as part of the application process. These can be arranged with Prof. Ruiz beginning in October.
