Integrated Studies Program - Córdoba, Argentina
Why choose Córdoba?
Córdoba, the university capital of Argentina, is popularly known as La Docta because of its rich academic tradition. This warm and inviting city offers you an ideal environment for cross-cultural immersion in Argentine society. With the Andes to the west, the Chacos to the north, and the wild beauty of the Pampas and Patagonia to the south, Córdoba is a crossroads for intellectual and terrestrial explorers alike.

Integrated Studies Program at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba
The Integrated Studies Program gives intermediate to advanced Spanish-level students the unique opportunity to take language and content courses designed for international students studying Spanish, and integrated courses with Argentine students at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, all while benefiting from the cultural guidance, language tools, and academic quality that defines Spanish Studies Abroad. The program integrates thoughtful synthesis of homestays, study visits, language exchanges, volunteer, and other cultural opportunities into the curriculum, so that you may more fully integrate into the cordobés culture.
