Students will then have the option of taking courses taught in English or courses taught in Spanish, plus a reinforcing Spanish class. Advanced Spanish speakers may take direct enrollment courses from the Universidad de Belgrano. This program is intended for students at all levels of Spanish, provided they are of sophomore through senior standing and have at least a 2.5 GPA.

Highlights: Buenos Aires, the sprawling capital of Argentina, is known as the Paris of South America.

CCIS members sponsor a variety of programs, notably study abroad programs and professional development seminars for faculty and administrators, which are designed to enhance international/intercultural perspectives within the academic community. Recognizing the value of such experiences in fostering global understanding and peaceful cooperation among nations in an increasingly interdependent and rapidly changing world, CCIS is committed to developing international dimensions as an integral part of collegiate education. CCIS works to build collaborative arrangements among institutions who share this commitment, and to facilitate linkages between member institutions and international partners.
