Description

Buenos Aires, the capital of the Argentine Republic (with a total population of 13 million, including suburbs) is a major South American port located at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata. The city is well-known for its cultural diversity and dynamic atmosphere, making it one of South America's most elegant and vibrant cities.

Reminders of the country's European roots abound:
* Spanish is the official language
* Italian and German names are very common
* The architecture boasts Spanish Colonial design, Italian detailing, graceful French Classicism, and even Victorian residential influences.

This Florida State University program is offered in conjunction with the longstanding partnership between the University of Belgrano and International Studies Abroad (ISA). The main program is a 16 week Broad Curriculum semester. Students wishing to participate in an additional four week intensive Spanish program may do so prior to the main 16 week regular semester. Courses are offered in both Spanish and English, and are taught by University of Belgrano faculty. Students will be registered for Florida State University academic credit as opposed to foreign institution transfer credit; thus, all traditional financial assistance is applicable to the program.

Note: Seasons in the southern hemisphere are "opposite" of the northern hemisphere.
