Program Description (long):

If you want the ultimate academic flexibility while living in one of the world’s most exciting cities, consider the Argentine Universities Program. On the AUP, you can take courses from just one or as many as four Buenos Aires universities: Universidad Católica Argentina, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad del Salvador, or Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. All university classes are taught in Spanish and integrated with full degree-seeking students. Some of the strongest departments available at the four Buenos Aires universities are history, political science, economics, international studies, international business, philosophy, social science, and literature. Each IFSA-Butler student studying on the Argentine Universities Program lives with a carefully selected host family. Because most of the culture of Latin America revolves around the extended family, living with a host family is one of the best ways to immerse yourself into the culture and language of Argentina. The IFSA-Butler program fee includes two meals per day during the week and one meal on Saturdays.
