Degree Programs in South America

When was the last time that you saw a tango performance in the middle of the street, traveled to the Amazonian rainforest, or had the chance to try cuy (guinea pig)? Pursuing a degree in South America will get you one step closer to these experiences and will help you improve your Spanish or Portuguese language skills at the same time! When seeking a degree abroad in South America, you’ll have more than one year to get to know a new city, country, and continent and make it your home away from home. Even better, South America is extremely affordable and easy to travel around meaningfully!

My time with Mente was an all-around great experience. Not only did Mente help coordinate an amazing homestay and Spanish immersion program, but they also organized constant group activities so participants could get to know each other while exploring some of the best spots in Buenos Aires. They took care of all the little things like providing me with a local SIM and SUBTE card, and Mente even let me store some bags in their office while I went backpacking throughout other parts of South Americ...

Best Student Locations

Some of the most reputable universities in South America are unsurprisingly located in some of the continent’s largest cities. It is easy to get a quality education while living in any of the business or travel hubs located in each particular country, however, degree programs in South America are most widely available in Brazil, Peru, and Argentina.

Brazil. As the business center of the region, Sao Paulo offers plenty of out of classroom activities to supplement studies in fashion, transportation design, and promotional design. This city is a mammoth; with over 30 million people in its metropolitan area, it can be a bit overwhelming for international students at first.

Peru. Lima is a growing and increasingly modern city, but it has managed to maintain a beautifully preserved colonial city center. Universidad del Pacifico is located only minutes away from this historic neighborhood, so on your break between seminars you can make sure to spend some time on a bench in Plaza Mayor to people watch.

Argentina. Buenos Aires is perhaps the most “European” city in South America, especially in terms of architecture. This is a city that lends itself to plenty of people getting lost in it. In most neighborhoods, you’ll find street vendors selling artisan crafts or food, inspiring graffiti, and incredible architecture.
