Latin American Study Abroad Opportunities

UW students study abroad for many reasons. Beyond the sheer adventure of experiencing a different world from the one they’ve come to know here at home, these students find many rewards to studying abroad, both personal and professional. The UW has numerous, established study abroad programs at accredited universities throughout Latin America. Most study abroad is organized through the Office of International Programs and Exchanges. For information on established study abroad programs, use the links below to explore by country. You may always contact IPE or the LAS office for more information.


Spring Quarter 2008: Human rights study abroad program in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Students will travel to Buenos Aires with UWT faculty member Dr. Rachel May, and will study at the Asociación Internacional de Estudios (AIE). Practicum placements will be made through AIE's partner organizations, placing students as volunteers with the NGO of their choice.
