Program Overview

Program Description:

Designed for students interested in economics, sociology, political science, and business, this multi-location interdisciplinary program offers a unique comparative perspective of two of the strongest emerging economies in South America: Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

We offer unique courses that explore economics, South American history, and culture, as well as other topics, through an in-depth and hands-on approach. Our world-class professors and course options enhance your academic experience and provide you with new perspectives each day in class. You take 16-18 credits per semester. All IES Abroad courses are taught in English, except for language courses, and are offered both fall and spring semesters unless otherwise noted.

The fall program begins with orientation in Santiago, where the first half of the program is held, followed by a week-long, course-related trip to Peru, and the second half of the program in Buenos Aires. In the spring, the order of this program is reversed to begin in Buenos Aires and end in Santiago.
