Introduction
Program Spirit: A Unique Global Academic Experience
The Buenos Aires Global Semester goes beyond the traditional exchange program. While it offers international students the opportunity to study in Buenos Aires and transfer credits to their home institutions, it also provides a distinct academic structure that sets it apart.
This program is designed as a coherent, modular curriculum, allowing students to engage in a targeted learning path that culminates in recognized credentials:
- The UCEMA Certificate in Global Business & Technology Foundations for students completing at least 15 credits.
- The UCEMA Diploma in Advanced Global Business & Technology for those completing the full 25 credits and a capstone project.
By combining academic rigor, flexibility, and an international perspective, the program ensures that students not only fulfill their credit requirements but also gain an independent certification or diploma that enhances their academic and professional profiles. This dual value proposition — credit validation and an additional credential — makes the Buenos Aires Global Semester a transformative educational experience.
