LALC majors are strongly encouraged to enrich their understanding of the region by studying in one of Dickinson's programs abroad. We offer a Dickinson program that combines one month in Ecuador and a semester or academic year in Argentina, and a Dickinson's newest program: Dickinson in Brazil (semester and academic year).

Dickinson in Ecuador and Argentina

This Dickinson program offers students the unique opportunity to live and study in two countries-Ecuador and Argentina-during one semester or the full academic year.

First, students participate in a four-week, intensive course in Cuenca, Ecuador. Cuenca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated in a highland river valley in the Andes, and students enroll at CEDEI, a multidimensional educational institution. The course at CEDEI focuses on Spanish language immersion as well as on Ecuadorian and Andean history and culture (this class transfers as LALC 203/SPAN 252).

Second, students travel to Mendoza, Argentina, where they take a class to reinforce their Spanish and a class on Argentina's culture, history, politics, and philosophy (this class transfers as LALC 204/SPAN 362). Furthermore, students directly enroll in courses at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (UNCuyo). UNCuyo is a prestigious university in Argentina with approximately 40,000 students. Students take classes in the schools of Philosophy and Letters, Political and Social Sciences, Arts and Design, and Economics. Independent multidisciplinary institutes offer classes in environmental sciences, earth sciences, energy, production and labor, basic sciences, etc.

During both parts of this program, students live with homestay families and have the opportunity to participate in several carefully planned excursions in the regions of Cuenca and Mendoza that supplement the academic curriculum.

Requirements:

• 3.0 GPA
• Spanish 231
• 3 letters of recommendation (and a language evaluation)
• Interviews, in Spanish, may be conducted
