CC-CS in Córdoba, Argentina
CC-CS Students in Córdoba study on-site at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and benefit from guided direct enrollment.
 Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC)
Founded by the Jesuits in 1613, UNC's history is closely intertwined with the city of Córdoba. Located in the center of historic downtown, it is home to rich historical sites, architecture, and resources, such as the old rectorado building and a rare book collection unique in the Americas. Students also have easy access to museums, theater, nightlife, shopping, and public transportation.
Because of UNC's central role in the development of Córdoba, the city is popularly known as la Docta (the Scholar). Its prestige attracts about 110,000 students from all over Argentina and South America to study. By studying at UNC you have the opportunity to meet a variety of Argentine and South American students in the classroom and through daily interaction. Each year, UNC also welcomes approximately 300 study abroad students to its campus who come to Córdoba for semester, academic year, or summer programs. The great majority of these students are from Western Europe and Asia. With a small English-speaking presence in the university and the city, Spanish is generally the only language of communication for everyday life, which gives you a great opportunity to build your language and cultural skills.
At UNC, CC-CS works in cooperation with the Programa de Español y Cultura Latinoamericana (PECLA), which offers a broad variety of courses in language, literature, history, and culture. PECLA's courses are designed to serve the needs of the international students who come to UNC to study.
While you will select a number of courses from the curriculum offered by PECLA, all CC-CS students enroll in one regularly-scheduled course at UNC. As you share the classroom and interchange ideas with your Argentine peers, you will find yourself immersed in both academic and cultural learning.
 CC-CS
Your learning and immersion experience in the communities of UNC is supported by the presence of the CC-CS Resident Director, who will be both guide and teacher as you make your cross-cultural journey. The Resident Director helps you to synthesize your experience through the special Cultural Realities course, and through personal contact and cultural activities throughout your stay.
