UGA en Buenos Aires is a Spanish immersion program based in the vibrant and cosmopolitan capital city of Argentina, that combines a great cultural offer, entertainment for everyone, delicious gastronomy, fascinating history, and human warmth. Our goals are to foster students´ communicative abilities in Spanish in authentic contexts, to deepen their understanding of Argentina and Latin America, and to improve their analytical and writing skills in Spanish. These abilities are professionally and personally valuable for those aspiring to work in Latin America or with Latino communities in the U.S. Students achieve these goals through Service Learning and Internship opportunities, homestay families, a rigorous academic program with professors from UGA and Universidad de Buenos Aires, and a rich cultural activities program.

The Portuguese Flagship Program

The Portuguese Flagship Program (PFP) at the University of Georgia is the first and only of its kind.  Intended for undergraduate students with a unique commitment to reach the highest levels of Portuguese and apply those skills in a professional context, the PFP offers an unprecedented opportunity for motivated students to internationalize their academic experience.  For many it will also serve as a stepping-stone into an international career.

More than a study abroad program, the PFP is structured to complement the student’s major area of study from the moment he or she arrives on campus.  Participating students also benefit from accelerated classes, regular group or one-on-one tutorials, Zoom partners in Brazil, rich cultural events, financial support for immersion experiences both in the US and abroad, and a capstone year studying at UFSJ – a leading Brazilian university – and completing a semester long internship in Brazil.
