Program Structure
Choose a 1- or 2-course option. Courses meet for 60 contact hours/3 credits. Classes meet for 3 hours per day, Monday-Thursday. If you choose the 1-course option, you may earn up to a total of 3 credits (up to 60 contact hours); if you choose the 2-course option, you may earn up to a total of 6 credits (up to 120 contact hours).
The University of Belgrano utilizes a 45-minute contact hour whereas the United States higher education system utilizes a 50-minute contact hour. All University of Belgrano courses represent the 45 contact hour amount and an estimated US credit calculation based on the contact hours. Each University of Belgrano transcript will include the number of hours per week and the weeks in the semester, so US universities may calculate the appropriate number of US credits for students.
We’ll assess your Spanish language level before your program begins to ensure that you're in the right program for you. Final course registration takes place on-site. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.6
