With its world-class museums, quaint cafés, and captivating architecture, Buenos Aires is an ideal study abroad destination for students eager to explore Latin America and develop their Spanish language skills.

Designed for students from all academic backgrounds, the Semester in Buenos Aires program invites you to enroll in a variety of exciting courses at CIEE Buenos Aires and CIEE’s esteemed partner schools – Universidad Torcuato Di Tella and Universidad del Salvador – where you will earn credits toward your degree. In addition to taking classes that align with your major, you’ll choose from courses that explore global topics with a local flavor, like Latin American politics, gender studies in Argentina, Argentine history, and more in the language (English or Spanish) you feel more comfortable with. During your program, you’ll tackle new academic challenges, learn alongside local college students, and forge new friendships with international and local peers alike.

Round out your study abroad experience with an optional internship to gain global work experience, a credit-bearing service learning project, or CIEE-delivered language courses to improve your Spanish language skills and proficiency.
