Part 3 - by Elizabeth Gregory
AmeriSpan's study abroad program in Chile appeals to many students. Since the program grants credit from a foreign university, be sure to check with your university's advisor to be sure the credits will transfer. Students can either opt to spend a semester in Santiago, or can choose a dual city program which combines time in Santiago and in Buenos Aires.
The school is located on a quiet side street in the residential neighborhood of Providencia, close to many shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Banks, supermarkets, internet cafes, a post office and other services are all located within 10 minutes walking. The school is easily accessible by bus or Metro (station: Manuel Montt). Capacity 100 students/day.
During the summer program, students can opt to take part in the 4 hrs/week Economic Development Seminar. This makes this program beneficial to business majors, particularly those majoring in Economics. Advanced Spanish courses are also available to students with the following majors: Medicine, Literature and Writing, and Law. It goes without saying that Spanish and Political Science majors will also benefit greatly from the program.
A complete course syllabus for this program can be found here.
