About Program
What you will learn
Balancing work and leisure can be a challenge in today鈥檚 fast paced, technologically driven society, especially in the US where our competitive culture encourages people to go 鈥渁bove and beyond鈥 and to always remain connected.听 Other countries, like Spain, seem to have achieved this balance. By studying their recreation, sport and leisure methods, you can learn ways to enjoy your leisure time and lead a more well-rounded, fulfilling life.听 Based at the Universidad de Alicante, you'll experience a wide range of recreation, sports and leisure activities including international beaches, festivals and food and craft markets. You鈥檒l study with Spanish students, increasing cultural interaction. Through classroom study and visits to recreational sites nearby, you'll gain new insights to help balance work and play.
