Assuming that you are a US citizen, not if you are attending the ALBA Program for a single term only, since our terms are less than ninety days in length. If you intend to stay continuously in Spain for more than ninety days, you will need a visa: a Student visa if you are continuing with ALBA, or a Tourist visa if you intend to simply travel afterwards. ALBA will provide the necessary documentation for the Student visa, but as with financial aid you should contact the nearest Spanish Consulate (www.spainemb.org/ingles/consulates) as soon as you are admitted.
