Your Destination
The streets and avenues of Buenos Aires and its 48 distinct neighborhoods offer cultural outings, varied gastronomy, lively nightlife, and beautiful parks and green spaces. Buenos Aires is brimming with art, culture, architecture, and style.
As an international student, you will embark on your daily routines commuting by an efficient metro system and bus system. College campuses at partner universities offer an array of activities and opportunities to students, as well as courses in English, which allow you to pursue your required credits without the hardships of a language barrier. At lunchtime, the college cafeterias will surprise you with healthy, hearty, homemade food, and an opportunity to catch up with new friends.
Afternoons are often spent exploring Buenos Aires´ cultural attractions, such as museums and art galleries, with friends or CIEE peers in customized cultural outings. Evenings in Buenos Aires begin with the tantalizing aromas of fresh-baked bread and merienda time with friends and family, to later enjoying gatherings in parks, cafés, or theaters to socialize and appreciate the city's rich cultural offerings, from live music performances to theater productions.
CIEE wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. Local CIEE staff have provided details about conditions and cultural attitudes that students with marginalized identities might encounter in Buenos Aires.

Professional Development
For-credit Directed Independent Research is for qualified students who have demonstrated academic rigor and curiosity toward a particular research topic. Independent research topics will be approved by CIEE Buenos Aires academic staff and the home institution and must reflect a topic that is relevant to Argentina. To be accepted into this course, students must submit a structured proposal with topic of exploration, significance of research topic as it relates to Argentina, methodology, a literature review, and a schedule of research milestones. Upon research completion, students will present their findings to a panel of academics.
A for-credit part-time internship allows students the opportunity to have practical work experience in a company within Engineering, Technology, or Science sectors. While having a basic level of Spanish is beneficial, it is not required. In addition to the on-site experience, students participating in an internship program have a weekly classroom component, which provides academic support to their practical experience.
