If you are truly interested in challenging yourself to an immersive experience, then this is the program for you! Unlike many other universities in Buenos Aires, our partner hosts no other American students, so you would interact with other international students and Argentinian students entirely in Spanish without interruptions from "Little America". We like offering programs that are off the beaten path and your time with us will be incredibly fulfilling as you chart your own path. You will not be alone as our staff will meet you at the airport and guide you throughout the program, leading you on excursions and showing you the beauty of Argentine culture.
Our host university, the
Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM) was founded in 1992 and is located 30 minutes from the center of Buenos Aires. UNSAM offers over 100 undergraduate and graduate programs.
