Advisor/Important notes:
- Direct Enroll Programs offer students an immersive academic and social experience as they directly enroll in a local University in their Host country! Students learn in a diverse classroom with degree seeking and fellow global study students from all over the world, and have opportunities to choose from a wide array of courses. Students love engaging with the local campus and the opportunities to join student clubs and organizations. These programs oftentimes offer more STEM courses in comparison to our Hybrid/Group programs through our affiliated study abroad providers. Most direct enrollment programs allow students to live in shared apartments with other university students, but a few have host family options.
- Spanish majors/minors must meet with faculty in the Spanish Department prior to choosing a program.
- This program offers great course selections for a variety of studies, including STEM courses.

Program Highlights:
- Learn among like-minded advocates and leaders in bustling Santiago, in the foothills of the majestic Andes Mountains.
- Explore a sophisticated city, emerging as a major economic and cultural center in Latin America, as you follow your penchant for business, politics, law, or social justice.
- Designed so you can live like a Santiaguino, this program allows you to learn local customs from a carefully selected host family and learn alongside Chilean peers.
- Ideal for pre-law, political science, international relations, and business majors, with the freedom to choose classes from two of Latin America’s top universities: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Universidad de Chile. Some classes available in English.
- Hoping to get closer to Santiago’s issues and challenges? Community-based learning opportunities make it easy to do that—and deepen your understanding of Chilean people.
- Thinking ahead to life after college? Add a resume-enhancing internship or directed research for a great window into career possibilities, plus experience employers will value.
- Communicating in the local language is key to cultural learning. That’s why you can also team up with a language partner for conversational practice and work with academic tutors throughout the semester
