IES Argentina: Latin American Societies and Cultures
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Through this program, students study in Argentina’s vibrant capital city of Buenos Aires. Classes in both Spanish and English are offered through the program, and students may also enroll in the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Argentina, a leading university enrolling about 22,000 students. Students may pursue a wide variety of courses in humanities, social science, and business, all with an emphasis on Latin America’s particular culture.
If you’re ready for an urban adventure, Buenos Aires is your city. With endless districts and neighborhoods to explore, you will get lost in the sights and sounds of Buenos Aires. Tango the night away as you learn the country’s popular dance, attend one of the many soccer games, and browse the local art scene—all this and more awaits when you study abroad in Buenos Aires.

Financial aid continues for eligible students during the off-campus program. Students should discuss with the Financial Aid Office how other outside aid may impact their existing aid package. Check out more details directly on the Reed College Financial Aid page.
