About Buenos Aires

Professional Development

For-credit Directed Independent Research is for qualified students who have demonstrated academic rigor and curiosity toward a particular research topic. Independent research topics will be approved by CIEE Buenos Aires academic staff and the home institution and must reflect a topic that is relevant to Argentina. To be accepted into this course, students must submit a structured proposal with topic of exploration, significance of research topic as it relates to Argentina, methodology, a literature review, and a schedule of research milestones. Upon research completion, students will present their findings to a panel of academics.

A for-credit part-time internship allows students the opportunity to have practical work experience in a company within Engineering, Technology, or Science sectors. While having a basic level of Spanish is beneficial, it is not required. In addition to the on-site experience, students participating in an internship program have a weekly classroom component, which provides academic support to their practical experience.

Excursions & Activities

Examples of excursions and activities include the following:

Take a tango class and join a milonga which refers to a musical genre, an Argentine ballroom dance similar to the tango, and a popular event where people dance tangos, waltzes, or milongas
