Wheaton in Argentina 2007
(tentative schedule - subject to change)

Wheaton in Argentina is an eight-week summer program that combines language study and practice, cultural immersion, travel and a service project. It provides Christian students a unique opportunity to become familiar with the culture and language of Argentina. Participants live with Christian families in the Greater Buenos Aires area. Students normally earn 8 hours credit toward the Spanish major or minor. Under some circumstances, an additional 2 hours credit (for a total of 10 hours) may be added. The program fulfills the study abroad requirement for the Spanish major at Wheaton College.

Dates
May 27 - July 22, 2007 -- 8 weeks

Price
The cost is $5,000 (+/- $200), depending on the number of participants, the final itinerary and the exchange rates. This price includes round trip airfare from Chicago to Buenos Aires, tuition and fees, orientation materials, most texts, group land travel in Argentina, excursions, lodging, and all meals. Students who do not return with the group and/or change their travel plans may be subject to a supplementary fee. We recommend a minimum of $300 for personal expenses and souvenirs.
