IMPORTANT: Programs that include classes at local universities such as Universidad Autónoma de Madrid may have different teaching, break, exam periods, and program start and end dates. Start dates may conflict with Signature Seminars. These dates may be subject to change pending publication of the local university academic calendar. Syracuse Abroad publishes such dates as soon as they are made available. Students then receive a confirmed, detailed program calendar upon arrival abroad. Please see your Madrid program advisor for more information.
