Drexel Abroad-CIEE Study Programs in Latin America Drexel Abroad programs in Latin America include those in Buenos Aires, Santiago, and Monteverde. In most programs, students live with Spanish-speaking families. In Monteverde, which offers a concentration in biology and ecology, students have a month-long home stay with a rural family and also live in biological stations during extended field trips in the forests. The Drexel Abroad program in St. Petersburg offers both semester study in Russian language and literature and intensive summer language study in Russian at the intermediate and advanced levels. The program includes weekly cultural excursions in and around St. Petersburg and field trips to Moscow and other sites.
Students have a choice of a home stay or residence in a university dormitory.
Enrollments may be for a semester or for as short a term as three to six weeks. These programs are open to external enrollments and are handled by International Programs. Drexel offers academic credit for students interested in a unique experience living and learning on a tall ship. The SEA program is designed for students in all disciplines, with or without sailing experience, who are interested in learning something new. More information is available in the Study Abroad office.
