If you choose the Intensive Language option, you'll enroll in one intensive Spanish language course per 4-week session. Courses are offered at the intermediate, high intermediate, and advanced level. If you are at the advanced level, we encourage you to enroll in the early Intensive language option, followed by the standard session to combine Spanish Language and Latin American studies. You'll receive a discount by enrolling in back-to-back sessions.

If you opt to not take the intensive language option, you'll enroll in two advanced courses taught in Spanish. This program falls under the PEAL category (Programa de Estudios Argentinos y Latinoamericanos). Please see the two courses listed below for more detail.

Enrollment in courses is determined by the results of a language placement exam administered by the Universidad de Belgrano prior to departure. Please note that your performance on the placement exam may not reflect the number of semesters of language instruction you’ve already completed at your home university. We strongly suggest that students prepare for the language placement exam by reviewing previous coursework.

Exam results will not be disclosed to students prior to their arrival. Results will only be shared if a student is unable to place into the language level selected on their pre-registration form.
