This means that CSUS students at the UB share the Argentine education experience. Students will also receive intensive language instruction and be introduced to Argentine culture and society in the Spanish Language Department before the beginning of the academic year or semester. The UB offers the organization of trips to the rest of the country, thus enabling students from abroad to learn about the beauty of Argentina's provinces and appreciate the contrast between the capital and the countryside. Exchange students may also compete to be on official teams in rugby and hockey. The Writing Proficiency Examination must have been passed at CSUS prior to departure and, in most cases, the lower division courses of the appropriate field of study must have been completed prior to participation in this program.
Final exams are usually oral exams.
Teachers may require that students write papers in Spanish on specific topics. Students will be graded on the basis of a 1 to 10 scale. One, two or three are considered failing grades. This exchange program can accommodate the special needs of graduate students wishing to study and carry out research in Argentina. Intensive Spanish instruction,graduate-level courses, and institutional affiliations for the facilitation of research are available to graduate students.
