Online learning isn’t the future way global education will function â€" it’s the present. With CIS Abroad’s Virtual Summer in Madrid program, take online courses from an international university from your home base while adding a global perspective to your education experience. Apply your previous learning to new classes, learn about the local culture through our Virtual La Vida Local series, and build connections with others so you can meet up in Madrid in the future! Although not a substitute for a traditional on-site experience, virtual study programs can serve as an important stepping stone to build up your skills, transcript, and cross-cultural understanding â€" a great foundation for studying abroad on-site.
