Program Overview
Thanks to the WSU/URV Cooperation Agreement, students pay tuition at their home institution and take classes at the institution abroad. The  Universitat Rovira i Virgili  is Tarragona's public university with campuses in Tarragona and Reus. Tarragona is located on the Mediterranean coast, one-hour drive from Barcelona. 

Your academic credits will transfer, allowing you to fit study abroad into your career plans.
