 Buenos Aires is the dynamic
metropolis of Argentina. It offers a charming combination of European
tradition and Latin attitude. Often called the "Paris of South
America" for it's wide boulevards and active sidewalk cafe life and
home of the tango, Buenos Aires is one of the world's greatest
cities. Porteρos like to boast that their city is home to over 300
theaters, 100 plus galleries, and at least 70 museums. It is
definitely the most culturally creative city of the southern
hemisphere.
Students live in the homes of carefully chosen families, many
of whom successfully kept Pepperdine students during previous
years. The
experience of a "homestay" is like no other. The student will be able
to embrace the culture, customs, and language of the Argentine people
within the comfort of a family unit.

The University-owned facility is centrally located and houses a
student center, study center, and a computer laboratory connected to
the Internet. This facility also contains the visiting faculty
family's living quarters, as well as the program office and
classrooms.
Classes are conducted at the Pepperdine facility. Class schedules will follow
Argentina's academic calendar. Therefore, the Fall
semester runs from September through early December and the Spring semester
runs from early February through late April. The language of instruction is English, but all
students must register for a course in Spanish. Students must have
completed the Spanish 151 requirement by the spring semester before
going to Buenos Aires for the Academic Year.
