The Curriculum
|
rinity's Barcelona site comprises two distinct tracks of study: Iberian studies and studio arts. Iberian studies students will take courses taught in Spanish in the Hispanic Studies Program of Pompeu Fabra University, one of Spain's finest universites. Studio arts students will take classes taught in English by Trinity faculty at Trinity's own Global Learning Center. All students will also take a custom designed English-language "core course" focusing on issues relating to contemporary Barcelona and Catalonia, such as bilingualism, culture and national identity and the conception of urban space. Iberian studies students will serve as interns at a local institution. Iberian studies students will choose their remaining course requirements from a variety of UPF courses and the following courses designed by the Hispanic Studies Program of UPF for the Trinity site: History of the City of Barcelona, Art History, and Society & Territory. The number of direct enrollment UPF courses taken will depend on a student's level of Spanish language proficiency. A list of appropriate courses will be determined prior to students' arrival in Barcelona in consultation with Trinity's on-site coordinator.
Studio arts students will fulfill their remaining requirements by enrolling in one to two of the following courses: Drawing I, Drawing II, Drawing III, Painting I, Painting II, and Painting III. Studio Arts students also attend an intensive Spanish language course and complete a practicum (independent hands-on art project). Upon their return to Hartford, Trinity students from both tracks will be required to present a term project to the larger College community to complete the core course requirement.
