Travel and Study in Latin America
Every country and culture approaches Latin American studies differently. The best way to gain a well-rounded and diverse view of the field is to live and study in another country. In addition to programs that offer Spanish language immersion, there are opportunities for study abroad programs, such as sustainable cities and landscapes in the Galapagos, advertising in Chile, and environmental studies in Bolivia.
