Córdoba, Argentina Semester Program

This program is currently not accepting applications. The software for study abroad is being updated. Applications will be accepted again starting January 15, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact the CWIL office at abroad@saintmarys.edu.

Córdoba is recognized as a center for arts and learning in Argentina with its many universities, theaters, and museums. Argentina's second largest city and the region's early capital, Córdoba is a bustling educational and commercial center set at the foothills of the Sierra Chica mountain range in northern Argentina. Saint Mary's College has an affiliation with Spanish Studies Abroad, which offers true cultural immersion experience in Córdoba.

The Córdoba Program offers three enrollment options: summer, semester, and academic year. Students will engage in an exceptional opportunity for semester study at the distinguished Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC). The semester program offers students a variety of courses within a broad spectrum of disciplines. Students enroll in 1-2 integrated courses with Argentine students at UNC and 2-3 courses designed for international students. The summer term consists of a one-month intensive language and culture session at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC).  In addition to 60 hours of classroom instruction, the summer program includes a home stay, cultural excursions and a three-day trip to Buenos Aires.

Saint Mary's students wishing to study in Córdoba must have at least a 3.0 GPA as well as a 3.0 (B) average in Spanish (or be a heritage speaker) at the time of application.

Students pay the standard Saint Mary's College tuition rate and a $1600 study abroad fee. Room and board rates will be slightly higher than if you were studying on the SMC campus. Additionally, each program has a standard accommodation package. If accommodations are elected that are not included in the standard package, room and board rates will be adjusted accordingly. All students who plan to study abroad are required to pay a $500 non-refundable deposit by April 30th (for Fall Semester) or November 30th (for Spring Semester). When abroad, the deposit will be applied to the student's overall study abroad balance.

Most Saint Mary's College financial aid can be applied to the semester or year in Argentina but not to the summer program. There are a few financial aid awards from Saint Mary's College that cannot be used while studying abroad, please check with the Office of Financial Aid about your specific aid eligibility.

Students provide their own round-trip transportation to Córdoba. However, the Center can help students participate in group discount flights to Argentina.

International health insurance is provided to all students abroad through GeoBlue insurance company. Students on any Saint Mary's study abroad program are automatically enrolled and the fee is included in the cost of the program.
