Buenos Aires is one of the most vibrant, intellectual, and artistic capitals of the Americas. A major cosmopolitan city, Buenos Aires boasts 180 theater halls (more than any city in the world) and an outstanding number of museums, cinemas, and bookstores. Home to such diverse figures as Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Gardel, Che Guevara, Eva Perón, and soccer stars like Maradona and Messi, Buenos Aires hosts over 30,000 international students every year.

The Buenos Aires offering of our popular Spanish language study abroad program will combine classroom experience at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella with extensive fieldwork through excursions and programmed events. The program offers intensive courses in language (with emphasis on grammar and conversation), Argentine civilization, and Spanish American literature. Through direct contact with urban and rural Argentineans, the students become sensitive to another culture and more conscious of the realities of contemporary Latin America.
