Middlebury Schools Abroad: Middlebury in Cordoba, Argentina

Córdoba is located at the base of the Andes known as the Sierra Chica, at the northern tip of a triangle between Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires.  Once the Cultural Capital of the Americas, Córdoba is a hive of activity with concerts, art exhibitions and theatrical performances covering every second of every day.  The city's many churches span the spectrum of European architecture – from simple brick structures rinsed in pink paint to a cavernous temple whose wooden roof resembles an inverted ship's hull.  Founded in 1573, Cordoba is now the second largest city in Argentina. It is also the country's second most important city, with an economy mainly based on industrial activity and tourism. Surrounded by hills, lakes and valleys, its location provides the ideal setting for many adventures and/or extreme sports.

Students on the Middlebury program direct enroll alongside roughly 110,000 students at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.  Available subject areas span the spectrum from the humanities to the social sciences to the natural sciences, and they host Schools specifically dedicated to Psychology, Architecture, Science, Health, and foreign languages.
