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.
Students will take classes on the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba campus, a large, pleasant space a few minutes from the city center.
Students on this program will benefit from multiple layers of support. This program is offered in partnership with Spanish Studies Abroad - the Center for Cross-Cultural Studies (CC-CS), which is a US-based study abroad provider that specializes in the Spanish-speaking world. CC-CS has support staff both in the US and in Córdoba and provides administrative support for students both prior to departure and during the term in Argentina. The program is hosted in Argentina by PECLA, the Programa de Español y Cultura Latinoamericana. PECLA is a language-learning center that is based at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC), which is the oldest university in Argentina. All courses are taught on the UNC campus, and the CC-CS offices are convenient to the UNC campus. Students will have support resources availble to them both through CC-CS and PECLA, and will also have access to the vibrant campus life of UNC.
Students on the summer program will choose one of the following options:Costs for study abroad vary program to program and will not be exactly the same as on-campus costs of attendance at Elon.
For cost information for this program, please see the Summer Budget Sheet (coming soon!).
GEC Access Scholarships are designed to help provide access for all undergraduate students to participate in an Elon-approved Global Engagement (study abroad or Study USA) program. The application for a GEC Access Scholarship is a questionnaire embedded in the outgoing program application--there is no external application. Please see the GEC Access Scholarship brochure for information on eligibility, conditions, and notification.
For additional information on scholarships or other funding for global engagement, see the Financial Planning for Global Study page.
Students can apply for summer financial aid through Elon University in person in the Office of Financial Planning in the spring semester. Summer financial aid applications are due May 1.
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 global engagement program. Visit the Deadlines and Events Calendar for travel grant deadlines.
To be eligible for this program, students must meet the following criteria:
Hold a 3.0 GPA or better in any prior Spanish language coursework
Have zero student conduct sanctions or other factors that prohibit participation in study abroad programs
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 summer programs.
Mate is much more than just a traditional beverage to most Argentines.
