Highlights

The curriculum focuses on Latin American studies with courses available in subject areas such as politics, history, literature, and economics, as well as Spanish language courses. Most courses include field trips to significant sites in the city, and faculty members introduce students to leading professionals in their fields. Trips to museums, art galleries, concerts, and theatre performances, as well as special guest lectures, are an essential part of course work - for example, journalism students may visit the editorial offices of Argentina's largest daily newspaper, Clarin; listen to lectures given by government officials; or speak to children of the desaparecidos (activists who were went missing during a period of Argentine history known as the Dirty War). All students explore the birthplace of the tango in the historic neighborhoods of San Telmo and La Boca. NYU Buenos Aires also encourages students to conduct volunteer work in their areas of interest.
