SUMMER PEAL Program Overview click flyer
SUMMER PEAL is an intensive, 5-week boreal summer term (Late June – Late July) offered by the Argentine and Latin American Studies Program (PEAL) in Buenos Aires. Designed as an "Open Laboratory," the program uses the city as an urban classroom and linguistic accelerator to build rapid fluency, academic rigor, and cultural responsiveness.
Course Offerings (Spanish):

Format & Contact Hours: Courses meet 3 times per week (3 hours per class) for a total of 60 hours per course (120 contact hours total for the program).
Prerequisites & Enrollment: 3 semesters of Spanish are recommended, though students of various levels are welcome. Programs require a minimum enrollment of 8 to 10 students to open.
