Program Overview
The McCoy in Barcelona program offers students the opportunity to study international business in an international setting but also allows students to get a feel for several cultures in beautiful Spain. The program consists of business, historical, and cultural visits. Students will learn about local culture and traditions through guest lectures and excursions and have plenty of free time to experience Spanish – and Catalan – culture on their own, making their own memories. Also, they will meet local folks during pre-arranged meetings and business visits.
Possible excursions: winery, brewery, television station, Port Authority, Sagrada Familia, Montjuic, Catalan Parliament, human towers (or castells), and office visits.
