Argentine Universities Program

With the IFSA Argentine Universities Program, build your own academic progr=
am with a combination of IFSA designed and Argentine university classes tak=
en in Spanish alongside local degree-seeking students. You will select at l=
east one IFSA-taught class and combine it with your choice of additional IF=
SA classes and direct-enroll classes to meet your academic needs and goals.

As our student, you may enroll in undergraduate classes for which you are q=
ualified and for which space is available at any of our Argentine partner u=
niversities. See information below for a list of departments available to y=
ou. While class descriptions may be found online, class syllabi may not be =
available until the beginning of your semester. If a class you are looking =
for is not listed, or if you are having trouble navigating a university's w=
ebsite, contact your IFSA Admissions Counselor for assistance.

Working with an IFSA seminar instructor and your onsite coordinator, you wi=
ll complete an academic paper, earning 3 U.S. semester credit hours. The pl=
acement process begins with the submission of the Internship Interest Form =
upon acceptance into the program, and typically concludes with an in-person=
 interview in Buenos Aires.

Upon completion of your program, IFSA will send an official Butler Universi=
ty transcript to your home university with your coursework converted to the=
 U.S. semester credit hour system. You will also have access to an unoffici=
al transcript in your IFSA Student Portal. The transcript reflects courses =
taken, credits attempted, and grades earned during your term abroad. This s=
ervice is included in your study abroad program at no additional cost. See =
our Transcripts page for more information.

Located in one of the world's most exciting and cosmopolitan cities, the Ar=
gentine Universities Program (AUP) offers students the opportunity to enrol=
l in up to four prestigious universities in Buenos Aires. In addition, ther=
e are several optional academic concentrations available in order to focus =
on a uniquely Argentine topic, as well as specially designed study abroad p=
rogram courses.

In order to study abroad for credit, you must complete two applications. Yo=
u will need to both apply to your program for admission (via the program we=
bsite) and apply to Yale for approval to receive credit.

In 2019 Georgetown University partnered with the Institute for Study Abroad=
 (IFSA) in order to introduce the IFSA Argentine Universities Program as an=
 option for study abroad. By partnering with IFSA we are providing a unique=
 opportunity to directly matriculate at a number of universities in Buenos =
Aires.

Students participating in the Argentine Universities Program have access to=
 IFSA-led courses as well as courses from three Argentine universities: Uni=
versidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad del Salvador, and Universidad Torcuat=
o Di Tella. Additionally, students in the Film and Media Studies program at=
 Georgetown can seek eligibility through IFSA to take courses at Fundaci=C3=
=B3n de Universidad de Cine.

The IFSA program is perfect for students seeking to further advance their a=
cademic Spanish as all courses are taught in Spanish. Georgetown requires t=
hat all students studying at IFSA Argentina complete at least Advanced Span=
ish II as a prerequisite. The program further provides an opportunity for s=
tudents to immerse themselves in the language by placing students in homest=
ays with local families. Homestay accommodations are guaranteed to ensure s=
tudents a private bedroom and dedicated study space, laundry, and three mea=
ls a day.



Students wanting to learn more about Hoya experiences in Buenos Aires can v=
isit the GU Office of Global Education official YouTube page to hear from G=
race Rector, Vance Vaughan, and Miranda Carnes in their #TakeoverTuesday. W=
hile they were on a program offered previously (and no longer), the spirit =
of Buenos Aires lives on in their stories!

This fellowship provides financing for two-months visits to Columbia by sch=
olars and scientists from any discipline who are working in Argentina on th=
e topic of choice for that academic year. The program is supported by Funda=
r; its purpose is to strengthen scholarly ties between Columbia and the aca=
demic community of Argentina, while fostering research that can inform a br=
oad policy conversation in Argentina and the region.

The ten students participating in the program are: Jonathan Daniel Bandoni =
(San Luis); Rodolfo Gabriel Carrizo (Bel=C3=A9n, Catamarca); Carlos Oviedo =
Codigoni and Ana Iris Robador (La Rioja); Lucas Ram=C3=B3n Madrazo Barbar=
=C3=A1 (Salta); Rodrigo Mor=C3=B3n (Bah=C3=ADa Blanca, Buenos Aires Provinc=
e); Valeria E. Alvarez (Chascom=C3=BAs, Buenos Aires Province); Mar=C3=ADa =
Antonella Di Napoli (Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Province); Luciana Fernand=
a Gordillo Olivares (San Juan), and Rebeca Ibarra (Santa Rosa, La Pampa).

The U.S. Embassy covers the costs of the program for students and encourage=
s participants to apply for future academic opportunities in the United Sta=
tes, including those offered by the Fulbright Commission in Argentina.

The IFSA in Argentina: Argentine University Program in Buenos Aires offers =
students the opportunity to mix and match classes between the largest and s=
mallest universities in Argentina. Buenos Aires will provide you with the b=
est of big-city living with fascinating social and economic dynamics. In or=
der to participate, you need to complete at least 4 semesters of Spanish, o=
r the equivalent, prior to departure.

You can take courses at one or as many partner universities in Buenos Aires=
, which include: Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), Universidad del Salvado=
r (USAL), Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (UTDT), and Fundaci=C3=B3n Universi=
dad del Cine (FUC). All university classes are taught in Spanish and integr=
ated with local, full degree-seeking students. Some of the strongest depart=
ments available at the partner universities are History, Political Science,=
 Economics, International Studies, Philosophy, Psychology, Urban Studies, a=
nd Literature.

The Emory Salamanca Program in Spain, available every fall and spring semes=
ter, is another excellent option for Spanish majors and minors. We have a l=
ongstanding relationship with the University of Salamanca, the oldest unive=
rsity of Spain, with an onsite director and a dedicated classroom and study=
 space to support Emory students. A large number of Salamanca courses are p=
re-approved for credit in Spanish and other programs such as Political Scie=
nce and Biology.

Emory facutly-led summer programs abroad, students take Emory courses and t=
here is no need to establish credit equivalency. This is also true for most=
 courses in semester or year program in Salamanca. In order to gain Spanish=
 or Portuguese credit for other programs in Spanish- and Portuguese countri=
es, you will need to apply for pre-approval and final approval from the dep=
artment.

Education in state institutions is at the initial, primary, secondary and t=
ertiary levels and in the undergraduate university level (not for graduate =
programs). Private education is paid, although in some cases (especially in=
 primary and secondary schools) state subsidies support its costs. Accordin=
g to studies by UNESCO, education in Argentina and Uruguay guarantee equali=
ty to have institutional features that hinder the commercialization of educ=
ation, as well as Finland has characteristics that favor multiethnic popula=
tion education and special education, education favors Argentina equality. =
According to the last census, the illiteracy rate is 1.9%, the second lowes=
t in Latin America. In the last decade, Argentina has created nine new univ=
ersities, while the outflow of university students increased by 68%.

Education is a responsibility shared by the national government, the provin=
ces and federal district and private institutions, though basic guidelines =
have historically been set by the Ministry of Education[citation needed]. C=
losely associated in Argentina with President Domingo Sarmiento's assertion=
 that "the sovereign should be educated" ("sovereign" referring to the peop=
le), education has been extended nearly universally and its maintenance rem=
ains central to political and cultural debate. Even though education at all=
 levels, including universities, has always been free, there are a signific=
ant number of private schools and universities.

The program of deregulation and privatization pursued by President Carlos M=
enem in reaction to the country's socio-economic crisis of 1989 led to the =
decentralization of the Argentine secondary school system, whereby, from 19=
92 onward, the schools' administration and funding became a provincial resp=
onsibility. The policy's weakness, however, lay in that federal revenue sha=
ring did not increase accordingly, particularly given the decision to shift=
 two primary school years to the secondary system.[3]

In addition an adult system of high schools (usually called Acelerados, Spa=
nish for accelerated) exists in order to guarantee secondary education to p=
eople over 18. Normally it consists in 2 or 3 years of intensive program of=
 study and it is provided by a large number of public and private schools v=
arying on each province. Night shift is available in order to satisfy those=
 who work during the day. These high school diplomas are accepted to enroll=
 in a university.

One important aspect is that Public universities at tertiary education leve=
l and at university level are tuition-free and open to anyone. Although it =
is not required to pay any kind of fee at universities, hidden costs of edu=
cation, like transportation and materials, are often neglected. The lack of=
 a well-developed and widespread scholarship system makes it hard for stude=
nts from low-income families to enroll in public universities: for each eig=
ht students from the 20% upper-income class, there is only one student from=
 the 20% lower-income class.[16] In contrast, post-graduate education requi=
res some form of funding and it is generally not free.

Argentina maintains a network of 39 National universities, financed by the =
Ministry of Education since 1946. Private and parochial universities are al=
so abundant, numbering 46 among the active institutions and they enroll abo=
ut a sixth of the collegiate student body (see University reform in Argenti=
na and List of universities in Argentina).[11] Summing up, over 1.5 million=
 students attend institutions of higher learning in Argentina, annually (ro=
ughly half the population of college age).[18]
