Students should review the psychology major advising page for planning guidelines, location and program ideas, and tailored recommendations for learning abroad.

Psychology & Research in Madrid
The Psych & Research in Madrid program offers courses and engagement opportunities focusing on psychology. Courses offered include Psychology Distribution Area A, B, and C courses, research and internship experiences, and even some outside psych foundation courses (OPFC) for BS majors. This program is offered in Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.
This program can be a great fit for students with a Spanish major or minor. All psychology courses are offered in English.
"I chose this program because I have Spanish speaking proficiency, I am a psychology major, and I was interested in doing research internationally. I took a Psychology Research course (my research placement was at the Cajal Institute and it was amazing). Working at a neurogenesis lab in Spain at one of the best research institutes was something that I will never forget." –Kai Mari Penoske, Fall 2022
