Español en el servicio a la comunidad

This 60-hour Community-based course combines coursework with a volunteering experience in an NGO, 博物馆, library, or school. The professional experience will be academically directed, supervised by a UB faculty, and conducting a project. Students will work 4 hours/week with the guidance of a mentor. They will also meet the faculty once a week to discuss both the assignments and the reading materials. This combination will bring students a meaningful insight of the reality of the daily life of porteños culture, while also enabling an increased intercultural understanding, and fastening their Spanish acquisition (both course and practice are conducted in Spanish).

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.
