The Southern Cone Program is for students interested in studying Spanish and a range of topics related to Latin America in two different capital cities of South America. The program begins with a three-week culture course in Buenos Aires, Argentina, followed by a full semester in Santiago, Chile. No particular major is required for eligibility. Students are normally of sophomore or junior standing.
Students typically take 5-6 courses during the semester. HMN 186 and one course taught by the Resident Professor are required. Students may choose to do an internship. The program includes 2-3 weeks of travel to sites of cultural and historical interest. Students typically live with host families.
