The CEA CAPA Buenos Aires Center offers an interdisciplinary education in a cosmopolitan capital city. CEA CAPA turns the city into your classroom, thanks to courses in a wide range of engineering, business and liberal arts & social science subjects within the context of Argentina and Latin America. The city of Buenos Aires provides a stimulating environment in which to study political, cultural, and business trends in Latin America. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to gain global competency and further your academic pursuits while immersed in a city that blends its European heritage with a modern Latin American style.
Designed to explore the natural strengths of the city’s history, culture, and political environment, CEA CAPA Buenos Aires Center curriculum focuses on language, engineering, business, cultural & social studies, and international relations. Courses incorporate activities specifically designed to take the curriculum out of the classroom and into the community. Even outside of the classroom, you’re constantly encouraged to apply what you’ve learned by connecting subjects examined in class to the daily life of the host community. This ongoing, active, and reflective approach not only helps you gain a better historical and social understanding of Buenos Aires and Latin America, but also helps you develop the international cultural fluency required to communicate and function effectively in an increasingly globalized world.
