Location & Culture

The metropolis of Santiago is South America’s sixth largest city, and home to more than six million. Located near the center of the long and narrow Chile, Santiago sits in a bowl-shaped valley with the towering Andes mountains nearly always in view. Here you will find world-class cuisine, exotic suburban parks, neoclassical architecture, and all the trappings of a modern economic center.

The program details

Students with four semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent are invited to dramatically improve their Spanish language proficiency with courses across academic areas at Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC), and Universidad Diego Portales - School for Social Sciences, as well as at the CIEE Global Institute – Santiago. Students enroll in 4-6 courses per semester including a Spanish language course.

Universidad de Chile was founded in 1842 and is one of the oldest and best universities in Latin America recognized for its innovation in science, technology, social sciences and arts.

University Diego Portales - School for Social Sciences and History was founded in 1982 to contribute to the implementation of social policies toward Chilean development. The university is recognized as one of the best in the country and features four renowned majors: Social Sciences and Humanities; Sociology; Political Science; and History.

Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC) is one of Chile’s oldest universities and one of the most recognized educational institutions in Latin America.

CIEE Global Institute – Santiago boasts spacious classrooms, comfortable lounge areas, and common spaces to do coursework. The facility is surrounded by the beauty of Cerro San Cristobal with parks, cafés, restaurants and shops nearby.

Academics

CLASS FORMAT

Classes are taught in Spanish, and CIEE courses are taught at the CIEE Global Institute for CIEE students only. Classes are scheduled Monday-Friday, and attendance is strictly enforced both for classes and required co-curricular excursions. Students should expect an average of two hours of preparation required for each hour in class. Instruction is supported and augmented online by our e-learning platform, Canvas. At the local universities, students take classes with Chilean students and other international students. Professors are primarily Chilean with advanced degrees from universities all over the world, resulting in a variety of teaching styles and perspectives.
GRADING

CIEE courses: The U.S. grading scale of A-F is used. Students' grades are based on attendance, class participation, homework, project work, presentations, and midterm and final examinations. Learning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi. University courses: Students meet the same expectations as their Chilean peers. Assessment includes a variety of different types of evaluation, such as written and oral assignments, quizzes and a final paper or examination. The Chilean grading scale runs from 1 to 7, which CIEE translates into recommended U.S. letter grade equivalents. Graduating seniors and students with timing concerns: Note that grades for Semester I (North American spring) should arrive on campus by late September, and grades for Semester II (North American fall) arrive by late March.
ACADEMIC CULTURE

Chilean academic culture differs from a traditional U.S. American academic culture; one example of this is that university professors in Chile do not have office hours. However, they can be approached by email, or students can also set an appointment with the professor according to the weekly schedule. CIEE courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards. The class environment typically features a combination of traditional lecture and discussion with co-curricular activities. Heavy emphasis is placed on student participation. To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel out of Santiago when classes are in session.

UNIVERSITY COURSES

All course selections are made in consultation with the CIEE Center Director and a designated staff person from each Chilean university. Not all courses are available every semester.

The final list of courses is available during the first two weeks of the program in Santiago. Although a limited offering of English-taught courses is offered, CIEE participants must not enroll in these courses due to our goal of complete language immersion. The following list is a representative sampling of courses available at the sponsoring universities. Students may enroll in any course for which they meet the prerequisites. In addition to the courses listed below, the host institutions offer a wide range of courses in many disciplines, including agronomy, architecture, biology, business administration, chemistry, cinema, dance, economics, engineering, environmental studies, fine arts, foreign languages, geography, international relations, law, literature, mathematics, music, philosophy, physics, political science, public health, public policy, sociology, theater, and zoology.
