When class is in session, you'll choose from a unique mix of flexible and diverse courses (in English or Spanish) at CIEE Palma and CIEE's renowned partner institution, Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB).

Your Destination

Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Palma de Mallorca is a bustling capital city with a laid-back island atmosphere. Its pristine beaches, rich history, fantastic nightlife, and one-of-a-kind gastronomy make it easy to see why Mallorca is a favorite among European tourists.

The port city of Palma is dominated by an impressive Gothic Cathedral, the elegant Moorish Almudaina Palace, and the round Medieval Bellver Castle. Mediterranean in essence, the palm-fringed marina bristles with masts, and beyond lies a tapestry of Gothic, Medieval, Modernist, and Moorish architecture, brimming with tiny shops, and busy squares. The flat terrain makes for easy walking and biking. On the rest of the island, you'll see small villages, stone houses, and the impressive Tramuntana Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In and out of the city, you'll be tempted to adopt the local active way of life and make the most of the beautiful landscapes and azure waters around you.

CIEE wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. Local CIEE staff have provided details about conditions and cultural attitudes that students with specific identities might encounter in Palma.

Housing & Meals

Housing

CIEE Palma offers students diverse housing options to ensure you're comfortable in your home away from home. From homestays to shared apartments, we will strive for your accommodation preferences to be met. Additionally, all housing options are located in neighborhoods with convenient access to public transportation and shops. The local university is accessible by metro (15-minute ride) and bus (20-minute ride) from the main square. CIEE classes meet in the downtown CIEE offices located inside ELE USAL Language Institute, located roughly 15 minutes on foot from the main square in Palma, and a 10-minute walk from the sea. 

Standard Housing: Includes a single room at a homestay, with or without another CIEE student. Homestays feature a kitchen, living room, and a bathroom shared with a host family. Laundry and Internet access are provided. All homestays are located within a 30-minute commute of Palma’s main square and the building where CIEE Palma is situated.

Select Housing: Includes a twin room with another CIEE student, at a shared apartment located within 30 minutes from CIEE Palma. Shared apartments are modest in size, featuring basic amenities with laundry facilities, Wi-Fi access, bed linens, towels, and a kitchen. Meals are not included. Select housing requires an additional fee.

Select Plus Housing: Includes a single room in a shared apartment located within 30 minutes from CIEE Palma.

A note: The default criterion to assign housing is first-come, first-served; however, other factors may also be considered. If we cannot accommodate your first housing choice, we'll let you know before you arrive.

Meals

Homestays: Students have breakfast and dinner with their host families, and they are responsible for lunch. Students do not typically have access to use the oven or stove at the host family home but can prepare cold lunches such as sandwiches or heat up food in the microwave.

Shared apartments: Meals are not included. Students living in apartments share full kitchens where they can prepare their own meals. There is a wide range of restaurants and cafeterias close to the apartments, and the building where classes are offered.

Academics

The Semester in Palma program encourages students to link their unique Mediterranean surroundings with their classroom studies. Coursework could include anything from economics, tourism, and business to Spanish literature and cuisine, engineering, physics, and psychology, to name a few areas. Classes are taken at CIEE Palma and the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB).  

Fall classes at the university end in December and official exams can take place in January. Spring classes end in May and official exams can take place in June. Early exams may be possible but must be confirmed on an individual basis with the professor of each course. Students may be able to take their exams early, though only if they request it at the start of the semester and it is confirmed by the professor. Housing will be covered until all exams are completed. However, as it is impossible to confirm exam schedules prior to arrival, we advise students who wish to take their exams early to book an airline ticket with a low change fee or a flexible departure date.  

Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) 
Established in 1978 and descended from Mallorcan universities dating back to the fifteenth century, the UIB is a public institution with 16,000 students specializing in 36 different majors. UIB is a university rooted in the culture and identity of the Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean, with a strong commitment to serving society, sustainability, and respecting the environment. The UIB Campus is 4 miles from downtown Palma, nestled in the foothills of the majestic Serra de Tramuntana mountains, a World Heritage Site. It is well connected to the center of Palma and 15 minutes away by metro.

Arizona State University: Enhance your international academic coursework with optional online courses that best align with your degree requirements and interests. ASU offers thousands of online courses in asynchronous sessions that fit within the CIEE academic calendar, so you can study abroad with CIEE while continuing to meet all your academic goals.

Academic Culture

Local university classes are generally lecture-style, and they can involve less guidance than U.S. students are accustomed to; syllabi can be less detailed and there are fewer assessments. CIEE courses are typically delivered in U.S.-style, with carefully monitored attendance, regular assignments and exams, and participation all being important factors in grading.

ASU Courses: You may find yourself in classes with students from ASU, other American universities, and students from around the world. Some are earning their degrees entirely online, while others, like you, are supplementing their education with an online course. You’ll receive direct and individualized support from faculty, 100% online. Most ASU online courses are asynchronous, meaning there are no set log-in times, but make sure to verify this before the add/drop deadline in case you want to make a change.

Class Format

Courses include lectures, discussions, critical analyses of readings, case studies, audio-visual documents, and field trips, and require active participation from the students. University classes are typically scheduled Monday through Friday. CIEE classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday. Courses taught at CIEE Palma are typically for CIEE students only and attendance is strictly enforced both for classes and required co-curricular excursions. Students should expect an average of two hours of preparation required for each hour in class. Instruction is supported and augmented online by our learning management system, Canvas. Students should expect to have daily homework assignments and weekly quizzes.

ASU online courses meet in “sessions” that are 7.5 weeks long in semesters and 6 weeks long in the summer, and all work must be completed within the session dates regardless of when your other CIEE courses begin or end. You’ll need a standard PC or Mac desktop or laptop computer with a download speed higher than 25 Mbps, as well as access to email, productivity software like Microsoft Office and other applications needed to perform a variety of educational functions. Most course materials you will need are available online. Since you are working mostly or entirely asynchronously, you’re given deadlines for your assignments by your instructor or in your syllabus, but you can work at your own pace within these due dates. Most instructors suggest a recommended pace to optimize your learning, but you have the flexibility to complete your ASU courses while pursuing your studies at your CIEE location.

Grading

For CIEE classes, the U.S. grading scale of A-F is used. In language classes, students are evaluated based on weekly quizzes, exams, attendance, homework assignments, oral presentations, and class participation. Grades in content courses are based on class participation, a mid-term exam, research papers, oral presentations, and a final exam. University professors assign numerical grades based on a 10-point scale, which CIEE converts to recommended U.S. letter grade equivalents.

ASU grading follows the same format and standards as ASU courses taught in-person. As a U.S. institution of higher education, the grading practices should be familiar to any CIEE student. ASU awards grades of "A+," "A," "A-," "B+," " B," "B-," "C+," "C," "D," or "E.” “Pass/fail” or “Audit” is not allowed for CIEE students. Please see the CIEE Academic Manual for Students for more information about your grades.
