Description

Students participating in a Summer Intensive Spanish program will be enrolled in a four week intensive language course. Classes meet Monday-Friday, five hours per day for a total of 100 contact hours. Upon arrival all students will take a placement exam to determine the appropriate language course level they will take. Courses focus on the improvement of grammar and conversation abilities with an emphasis on producing and understanding both oral and written texts. Though no language requirement exists, it is recommended that students have taken at least one semester of college level Spanish before enrolling in the summer programs. Students may earn up to 6 units of semester credit by completing this course.

Highlights

Known as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina and the nations largest city. Located along the southern coast of the Rio de la Plata, this lively port city wears its European heart on its sleeve as evidenced by its wide boulevards, ornate architecture and rich cultural offerings. The city is home to the Teatro Colon, one of the finest opera houses in the world, and is the birthplace of the tango, a dramatic dance characterized by the passionate play between partners. Beyond the city center, a mosaic of distinct neighborhoods celebrates the diverse culture of the Argentinean people, welcoming visitors from near and far. Whether sipping a mate among friends, or learning the tango as it was meant to be danced, Buenos Aires offers a truly unique Global Student Experience.
