Program Overview

From the elegant and wide avenues of Buenos Aires’ urban center to the city’s diverse cultural attractions, Buenos Aires offers students a welcoming atmosphere for a summer studying abroad in the Southern Hemisphere. This program is designed primarily for students with a beginning or intermediate level of Spanish proficiency and it includes a core group of classes in English that explore contemporary Latin American society from a social science or business perspective.

The program includes a Direct Enrollment option with the Universidad de Buenos Aires for students from Colleges of Agriculture and the Biological Sciences. This is a great way to experience the Argentinian education system first-hand—maybe you'll even make some Argentinian friends while you're at it.

Why Buenos Aires?

We have to be honest—you’re going to fall in love with Buenos Aires. You’ll swoon over the eclectic architecture, inspired by cities like Paris and Madrid. You may even learn to tango in the birthplace of this sensual dance. Don’t wait any longer—find out why this is a love affair to last a lifetime.

Student Life

We strive to make sure you feel safe, cared for, and at home while you’re away from home. Whether it’s the orientation program that makes you feel prepared, your housing that is well-located and comfortable, the cultural events that make it easy and fun to meet other international and local students, or the field trips and walking tours that take you to places tourists don’t usually see—we’re all about our student service. Learn more about the day-to-day studying abroad on this program. From field trips to housing, it’s all on IES Abroad’s website.
