CÓRDOBA, ARGENTINA
LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN CÓRDOBA
The goal of this program is to provide an effective and high-quality linguistic and cultural experience for students. Taught at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), the program offers two summer sessions and an array of coursework in Spanish language, literature, and civilization (some of which cross-list with Latin American Studies) and an Engineering course in English during the first summer session. The courses are open to students of all majors who have the proper prerequisites and a keen interest in developing their Spanish. Students may elect to attend one or two summer terms.
During each term, at least one course will be taught by a UT faculty member from the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. The remaining courses will be taught by experienced UNC professors. Students must enroll in six semester hours per summer term.
Another beneficial feature of this program is the UNC bilingual office staff dedicated to assisting UT students daily and after office hours as needed. UT and Córdoba staff seek to maximize cultural immersion by placing students with carefully selected local families and by facilitating the “Speaking-Partners” program, a student-to-student conversation exchange.
