The Tufts in Madrid program is offered as a semester- or year-long program of academic study. Students are strongly encouraged to choose the year-long option, and admission preference is given to those who do. The program is run jointly with Skidmore-in-Spain, although Tufts represents roughly 70% of participating students. Designed to suit students with a variety of academic interests, the program combines a curated curriculum of in-house, seminar-style courses with the opportunity to enroll in courses offered at one of two local host institutions.
