WorldStrides offers comprehensive study abroad programs across five Latin American countries—Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Peru—providing students with transformative experiences that blend academics, cultural immersion, and adventure. Whether you're spending a summer, semester, or full academic year abroad, you'll earn credits while studying at nine prestigious host universities throughout the region.

Latin America is renowned for its extraordinary blend of indigenous, European, and African cultures, reflected in its languages, traditions, cuisine, and music. You'll have access to iconic natural landmarks including the Andes mountains, Amazon rainforest, and Caribbean coastline, while practicing language skills in real-world settings. Each destination offers distinct advantages: Argentina combines European sophistication with Latin energy and vibrant tango culture; Chile pairs academics with outdoor adventure through its dramatic coastlines and mountain views; Colombia showcases fast-growing innovation scenes and colorful cities; Costa Rica embodies the pura vida lifestyle centered on sustainability and biodiversity; and Peru offers ancient history, rich indigenous culture, and diverse landscapes from mountains to rainforest.

WorldStrides structures programs to meet diverse academic and professional goals. You can pursue traditional study abroad (earning credits while taking courses), community engagement (interning at local non-profits), study + internship combinations (balancing coursework with credit-bearing internships), study + research (splitting time between classes and immersive research), or study + community engagement (part-time volunteering alongside academics). This flexibility ensures you can design an experience aligned with your major, career aspirations, and personal interests.

Beyond the classroom, you'll engage with world-renowned universities offering hands-on learning experiences, research opportunities, and internship placements. The program provides comprehensive support throughout your journey, including dedicated advisors to help you select the right program, navigate course selections, and answer questions about your destination. Student testimonials highlight transformative personal growth—from building confidence to creating meaningful international connections with peers from around the world.

With 20+ program options across five countries and multiple program types, WorldStrides gives you the expertise, options, and support needed for a truly personalized study abroad experience. Whether you're seeking academic challenges, professional development, cultural exploration, or outdoor adventure, Latin America offers the ideal setting to grow intellectually, linguistically, and personally while earning academic credit.
