Master Announces New Study Abroad Programs!
Program Overview

Master Exchange is pleased to offer Spring Break and Maymester programs in conjunction with the Universidad de Buenos Aires. Participants in both programs are eligible to receive undergraduate or graduate credit through the Universidad de Buenos Aires. A transcript and supporting documentation will be issued to each participant to facilitate the easy transfer of credit to the student’s home university. English is the primary language of instruction for these courses, which are specially designed for Master Exchange students.

Whether you enroll in the Intensive spring Break or Maymester program, you will participate in a total living and learning program designed to immerse you in the culture of Argentina. You will study at public university with students from Argentina, live with students from Argentina and other countries and ride the subway like a local.

The program includes a variety of tours designed to acquaint you with Argentine history and culture, from a Tango dinner show to trips to museums and street fairs (see program itinerary for details).
