The Institute for the International Education of Students (IES) program in Santiago, Chile

of tradition and development in Chile and Latin America, with all coursework taught in
the fields of Anthropology, Art History, Economics, Environmental Studies, History,
Literature, Political Science, Spanish language and literature, and Sociology. The
Universidad de Chile, one of the IES partner universities, sponsors interdisciplinary

and Public Policy. Courses are also offered in Anthropology, Economics, Sciences,
History, Mathematics, Music, Psychology, and Sociology. At the Pontificia Universidad
Católica de Chile, Chile's largest private university, courses are available in Art,
Sciences, Geography, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and the
Social Sciences. The program features a special Heath Sciences program of interest
to pre-med students. A Service Learning option offers projects in social psychology
and the sociology of the family and includes 60 hours of community service.
Internships are also available in non-profit organizations, businesses, or government.
Field Trips include course-related excursions to places of interest in Santiago and
elsewhere in Chile throughout the semester. An optional field trip is offered to Easter
Island in the fall and Patagonia in the spring. Housing is provided in homestays.
