Study Abroad Programs in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Sun-soaked beaches, being immersed in another language, quick and easy travel to other countries, a cultural experience unlike one’s own—these are among the reasons students choose to study abroad. San Juan, the 500-year-old Caribbean city, with an old town that is still enveloped by its colonial-era fortresses, checks the box for all of the above. Plus, those from the U.S. who study in San Juan can experience the city’s unique pedigree without the need for a passport, as Puerto Rico is the nation’s closest territory.

How to Study Abroad in San Juan

Puerto Rico was once the hub of the New World; today, San Juan is still one of the most important cities in the Caribbean. Instead of gold, ideas and knowledge are the currency.

What subjects to study? San Juan is a great place to become immersed in the Spanish language. To study abroad in San Juan is to be situated in an international city, ideal for studying history, cultural studies, business, and even nursing. Instruction is primarily in English, but living in San Juan gives students the opportunity to improve Spanish skills.

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs (semester, trimester, and year-long). Program length is a major consideration when picking from study abroad programs in San Juan. Keep in mind that short-term language programs tend to be more flexible, having more start dates and lasting a matter of weeks, while subject-specific courses often require the commitment of a full term.

Attending universities vs. other program types. Private language schools have the advantage of flexibility, though attending a program that partners with an accredited university would provide the opportunity to take courses in your field of study and, in most cases, to transfer the credits back to your home institution.
