Description

You will study at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica Argentina, one of the largest private universities in Argentina. Located in Puerto Madero, the central campus is accessible by colectivo (bus) and subte (metro), and is a short walk from the city's historical and financial districts. It is also only a few blocks away from a 1,000 acre natural preserve.

The Pontificia Universidad Catolica Argentina (UCA) has the most modern urban campus in Argentina, made up of four impressive buildings, the first of which opened in 1996. There are five computer labs with full Internet access for the students, four university cafeterias, and a beautiful esplanade along the River Plate. The facilities also include four multimedia auditoriums, a bank, medical attention, Xerox machines, an open-air amphitheatre, a comfortable open-shelf library and Argentina's best on campus TV and Radio studios. All the buildings are connected by an underground tunnel. The University also has a strong focus on "internationalization" throughout their programs.

The university offers courses and degrees in: Economics, Business Administration, Psychology, Education, Political Sciences, International Relations, Journalism, Advertisement, Law, Agriculture, Engineering, Philosophy, History, Literature, Music, and Theology.

As all classes are conducted in Spanish, a Spanish placement test at UCA is mandatory for all international students upon arrival. Students who do not reach the " Intermediate Advanced " level after their Spanish test will be required to take Spanish classes along with their regular classes. They will also be limited to register for only Latin American Studies courses such as: "Latin American Short Story Writing", "Corporate Finance in Latin American Environment", "Latin American Nobel Prizes in Literature", "The Impact of Globalization in Latin America", "Valuation in Emerging Markets".
