Argentina | Buenos Aires
The goal of this four-week summer study abroad program is to offer LVC students the opportunity to engage with the language, culture, lifestyle, and diversity of Buenos Aires.
This four-week summer program is offered to students in any major who have an interest in broadening their Spanish language and Argentine culture, history, and literature knowledge. You can earn six credits with an intermediate or advanced proficiency Spanish language course that will apply toward a major or minor in Spanish. Students will also fulfill Immersive Experience general education requirements. The four-credit Spanish language classes will be led by Argentine professors, while an LVC Spanish professor will teach a two-credit companion culture course. Students live with an Argentine host family over the four-week program.
