International Business Study Abroad Programs in Barcelona, Spain

Of all the decisions I’ve made, choosing Semester at Sea as my study abroad program was by far the best. I knew I wanted to explore multiple countries rather than stay immersed in just one, and when I discovered SAS in my university’s offerings, I immediately knew it was the perfect fit. Over four unforgettable months, I traveled to 10+ countries across 3 continents, creating lifelong memories along the way. The shipboard community is truly one-of-a-kind—tight-knit, supportive, and full of energy. I made some of my closest friends while learning about new cultures in the most hands-on way possible. From visiting the Taj Mahal to riding camels in the Sahara Desert, each moment was unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a more enriching, exciting, or transformative experience. I’m forever grateful for Semester at Sea—and I hope you find a journey just as meaningful.

We spent the month of July 2024 in Spain and were looking for something our son (17) could do during the days besides just going to the Barcelona beaches - and we found this pre-university summer entrepreneurship program. We really loved seeing our son take part in this and it made for a wonderful experience during our month abroad! As entrepreneurial parents, it was inspiring to watch him gain the knowledge and confidence we wish we’d had at his age. He did the course-only option as he was staying with us, so we cannot speak to the accommodations and excursions that the other students participated in with the full package. Thank you for nurturing his creativity and showing him what’s possible—he’s already dreaming up new ideas, and we’re excited to support him as he explores his potential and future opportunities.
