Chile: Santiago - Cooperative Latin American Studies Program
Chile: Valparaiso - Cooperative Latin American Studies Program
The Council on International Educational Exchange (Council) program in Santiago and
Valparaíso, Chile operates at three host institutions: two in Santiago, the Universidad
de Chile, the country's preeminent public university, and the Pontífica Universidad
Católica de Chile, the leading private university; and at the Universidad Católica de
Valparaíso. During a two week pre-session Language and Culture course for program
participants, students take intensive Spanish while receiving an introduction to the
country, culture and academic program. Afterwards, registration takes place for direct
enrolment into courses at either or both of the host institutions, where students take
courses alongside their Chilean peers. Participants may elect to continue their Spanish
anguage study in a special advanced course offered alongside university courses.
University courses in Santiago are offered in such areas as history, philosophy,
political science, international relations, anthropology, women's studies, urban studies,
fine art, psychology, and literature. In Valparaíso, the most appropriate departments
for study-abroad students are literature, history, oceanography and psychology;
political science, anthropology, and sociology are not available. The program provides
excursions to sites of historical and cultural interest in Santiago and field trips further
afield in the country. Housing is in homestays, which include three meals a day.
Eligibility: Third-year Spanish.
