This interdisciplinary program offers students the opportunity to earn credit through the College of Social Science and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources while experiencing Argentine culture and tradition. It is open to all students wishing to learn more about Latin America and will focus on issues of globalization, environmental constraints, politics, and the social capital involved in making economic transactions.
ARGENTINA - one of the most exciting and beautiful countries in the Western Hemisphere! The country conjures up images unique to this remote area of the world - The Pampas and its famed Gauchos who rival the American cowboy in folklore; Patagonia, which includes some of the most beautiful scenery in the majestic Andes Mountains; the northwest region of Salta, with landscapes that provide spectacular backdrops to colorful Indian cultures and romantic colonial towns; and of course Buenos Aires, evoking images of Latin culture at its richest, a world-class cosmopolitan city which has managed to preserve old tradition (like the famed tango) in the midst of a modern and dynamic metropolis.
In addition to exploring Buenos Aires and its environs, students will go on field trips to the Indian region of the Andes, to the Pampas, and Iguazú Falls as part of the course of study.
Spanish language is not required for this program. Students with all levels of language ability will have the chance to experience this fascinating culture.
