Global Campus in Buenos Aires Connecting Students to International Higher Education Because education shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all, we’ve developed a robust catalog of diverse study abroad program options to better meet the needs of today’s universities and their students. Our Global Education Network comprises three well-defined learning environments, each contributing distinct advantages that together offer college students greater depth of choice in study abroad programming and services.

Global Campus

Global Alliance

The Global Partners

Our signature, purpose-built learning environment is designed to engage students directly in the local culture.

This new model of international higher learning reflects academic integration and collaboration with an international institution rooted in academic integrity.

We strategically choose these local institutions of higher learning to provide complementary, culturally immersive programs through direct enrollment with a local and/ or international student body.

Greater Control, Maximum Flexibility The Global Campus model was designed to meet university faculty and advisor needs by establishing greater control of curriculum and educational space abroad. We work with university faculty to design courses that fit your institutional goals, and continually assess our programs via direct feedback from the universities we serve. Our campus locations are selected for ease of access to the local community, both its historic and contemporary culture, and equipped with the technology students require today for academic success. The Global Campus model is characterized by: • Engagement with the local community through academic partnerships, shared programming, and service initiatives

• Curriculum designed around CEA’s “active learning” model to take learning beyond the classroom and into the city

• A focus on creative collaborations with U.S. colleges and universities

• Rigorous external oversight of faculty hiring and curriculum development

• U.S.-style academic calendar or specialized schedules

• Management by highly qualified and locally knowledgeable academic and administrative staff, trained in the best practices in education abroad

• Courses taught in English, as well as in the host language

The greater Buenos Aires area boasts more than 13 million people – only 3 million within the city limits – and is famous for its diverse, multi-national population, rich landscape and vibrant culture.

The Global Campus in Buenos Aires is located in downtown Buenos Aires and offers an interactive curriculum designed to incorporate the local culture through class visits to museums, local companies and NGOs.

Global Campus courses are designed in conjunction with, approved and transcripted by the University of New Haven, which is accredited by the Commission on the Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHE/ NEASC).

Faculty Snapshot: Your Local Colleagues

CEA’s Connections to the City CEA’s academic and professional networks in Buenos Aires support student integration into Argentine culture through conversation exchanges with local students and more. Students also may choose to enroll in a unique hybrid program through our Global Campus, allowing them to also take courses at our local partner institution, the University of Belgrano. Students also connect with the larger international student population in Buenos Aires through integrated classes and campus activities.

At the Global Campus, opportunities for class visits and student research projects are provided by key connections to local organizations and institutions, including a local food organization and an advertising agency.

A resident of Argentina for more than 10 years, Anne Gustavsson (MA, University of Göteborg, Sweden) teaches The Culture & Civilization of Argentina in Buenos Aires. Anne has conducted research in Argentina on indigenous issues. She has also worked in the restoration of artistic and bibliographic treasures at the Universidad Nacional de San Martín.

In Ms. Gustavsson’s course, students have the opportunity to learn and step into the various facets of Argentine culture, including exploring the famous Colón opera house, several museums, and the Recoleta cemetery – where many famous Argentines such as Evita Perón rest. Students also get to observe firsthand the unique gaucho culture found in San Antonio de Areco, where one can get as close as is possible to the true, free spirit and endless vistas of the Pampas lifestyle.
