“Not only does the Barcelona SAE program provide you with an informative, immersive cultural experience, it also pairs you with outstanding mentors who are there for you every step of the way. The small size of the program allows for strong communication between staff, students, and teachers, and allows you to form close bonds with fellow students that will last long after the program has ended.”
