Montevideo contains over half of Uruguay’s three million people. The capital has primarily Spanish and Italian heritage and boasts abundant cultural and entertainment attractions, including museums, cinemas, theaters, exciting nightlife, and fascinating architecture. With its wide, clean beaches and charming Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo moves to its own distinctive beat. 

Students in Montevideo take courses alongside Uruguayan students at one of three local universities: the Universidad Católica del Uruguay, the Universidad de la República, or the Universidad ORT. Students can pursue courses in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. There is also the opportunity to participate in intentionally designed tracks in architectural studies or the arts (including studio arts, graphic design, music, and dance opportunities). All students complete a writing course designed exclusively for program participants, and many students also pursue internships. In Montevideo, students are placed into local homestays.
