Description

Students at an advanced level of Spanish language proficiency who are ready to refine and cultivate their language skills are invited to participate in this comprehensive study abroad program that will enhance those skills and allow them to embrace the lifestyle of a new culture. Students will take an in-depth look into Latin American culture through integrated courses with local Chilean and other international students. This allows students to experience immersion into the Chilean university system by taking content courses with host national students. Integrated classes are taught in a wide variety of subject areas, allowing students to earn credits toward their major or fulfill additional graduation requirements. This program also features a unique Early Start portion in the spring semester. Students take a four-week intensive language preparation course designed to help them adjust to the university setting and prepare for the semester placement exam.

Highlights

Considered Chile's premiere seaside resort, Viña del Mar provides a great stepping stone to a semester or summer of Spanish language and Latin American cultural study. A short drive from Santiago, Viña del Mar is more laid-back and friendly than Santiago, Chile's capital city. Viña del Mar is conveniently situated and gives visitors easy access to Chile's many natural wonders. The country's topography ranges from the Andes Mountains and arid deserts to sandy beaches and lakes. Viña del Mar also offers easy access to Chile's many natural wonders, including the beautiful coast. Home to a large number of parks and gardens, as its reputation as the Garden City promises, the city is also known for its annual Viña del Mar International Song Festival, held in February. Hone your Spanish language skills while experiencing and absorbing all the Chilean culture has to offer through hands-on excursions to nearby Santiago, a trip into the snow or a tour of the Valparaíso Wineries and the grape harvest.
