Advisor/Important notes:
- SIT programs offer students the opportunity to dive deep into a specific academic topic! These small (15-25 student) programs run on a fixed course model where all students are enrolled in the same courses. SIT highly values experiential learning and makes an effort to get you out of the classroom and into your host community as much as possible. A key component of these programs are the Internship or Independent Study Project that students complete during the last month of their global study semester.
- Prerequisite: Three recent semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent and the ability to follow coursework in Spanish, as assessed by SIT. At least one college-level course in public or global health, medicine, nursing, development studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, community development, environmental science, social sciences, or other related fields recommended but not required.
- Spanish majors/minors must meet with faculty in the Spanish Department prior to choosing a program.
- Students travel outside of Buenos Aires but the program focuses primarily on urban medicine in comparison to rural medicine in Chile.
