The Skidmore in Spain program, founded in 1985, is run in conjunction with Tufts University. This program is designed for students with an advanced knowledge of Spanish and strives to integrate students into Spanish life through coursework, living with a Spanish family, internship options, and an emphasis on involvement in the cultural and social life of Spain.

There is a wide range of coursework available in Madrid. Students can choose from courses offered at the Tufts-Skidmore Spain program center, from Skidmore's university partner, and local studios and academies. Courses at the program center are taught just for students on the program, but students can study along side Spanish or international students if they take university courses. 

Customized internships are available for semester or yearlong students. Both for-credit and non-credit internships are available. Skidmore interns have been placed in private businesses, museums, theaters, media organizations, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
