Córdoba is the second-largest city in Argentina and the capital of Córdoba province. It is located in the geographical center of Argentina, on the Primero River at the intersection of the Pampas and the Sierra Chica mountains. Founded in 1573, it is one of the oldest cities in the Americas and retains a charming city center featuring Jesuit architechture dating from the 1700's. The historic buildings of Córdoba have collectively been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city has played a major role in Argentine history as the birthplace of many important social movements including the Codobazo, which facilitated the overthrow of the military dictatorship of General Carlos Onganía. Today, Córdoba is recognized as a significant center for arts and culture in Argentina.
Córdoba offers students an opportunity to study in an authentic working-class Latin American city. Córdoba does not have the monumental feel of Buenos Aires, but more than makes up for that with its bustling student scene. At its core, Córdoba is a college town. The city is home to seven major universities and its hundreds of thousands of students comprise a significant portion of the city's population of approximately 1.4 million.
The Spanish Studies program is right for students who have taken Spanish 221 or higher. Students who have taken more than two courses at the 300 level may also be interested in the Integrated Studies program, which allows some direct enrollment in courses with Argentine students. Courses for international students are available in a variety of liberal arts disciplines. These courses will primarily have a Latin American focus.
Students will take classes on the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba campus, a large, pleasant space a few minutes from the city center.
The Universidad Nacional de Córdoba is Argentina's oldest university.
Fall Semester – early July to early December
Spring Semester – early February to early July
Costs for study abroad vary program to program and will not be exactly the same as on-campus costs of attendance at Elon.
Specific cost information for this program is coming soon, but the cost of this program should compare favorably to the CIEE Buenos Aires program.
Need-based scholarships are available for Elon semester programs through the GEC. For additional information on scholarships or other funding for study abroad, see the Funding for Study Abroad page.
If you qualify for a travel grant through any of the fellows or scholars programs, see the appropriate program director for more information on how to apply the grant to your study abroad program. Visit the Deadlines and Events Calendar for travel grant deadlines.
To be eligible for this program, students must meet the following criteria:
Students must complete online the Elon University study abroad application by the published deadline. See the Deadline and Events Calendar for the most up-to-date deadline information. Applications are generally accepted one semester in advance.
Initial approval is granted by Elon, and final acceptance is granted by the Center for Cross-Cultural Study (CC-CS).
A successful semester abroad is dependent upon adequate preparation. Students will participate in a series of mandatory orientations during the semester prior to studying abroad. These orientations will address issues of academic, cultural, logistical, financial, and personal preparation, as well as health and safety. Failure to participate in the required orientations will result in dismissal from the program. Any financial losses incurred by this dismissal, including program fees and international airfare, are the student's full responsibility.
View the pre-departure orientation schedule for the semester programs.
Mate is much more than just a traditional beverage to most Argentines.
