SPA 302 (Advanced Spanish- Grammar and Conversation) Prereq: SPA 202 (WCU credits)

COST

We want to keep student cost to a minimum. The cost per student is the following:

3 credits $2700

6 credits $3300

* This cost is based on a group of 10 students (the minimum number of students required for the program to run)

* If 15 students join the program, the cost will be lowered (from the final cost based on 10 students).

This cost covers:

· Transportation from arrival to Buenos Aires airport to Rosario

· Tuition for 3 credits or 6 credits

· Family Housing (breakfast and dinner included)

o Lunch is not included, but it is really cheap to have lunch in Rosario (you can buy some empanadas for $3, or eat in a regular restaurant for $5-$8).

o All families provide internet access

o Housing will be at a walking distance or a maximum of 5-10 minute ride by bus.

· Orientation and Farewell activities

· Local cultural activities (city tour, tango, folklore, museums, etc.)

· Local insurance

Cost does NOT include:

· Airfare (approx. $950 [as of Oct 23 2011] for dates of program)

o We will try to get a discount “group rate” to travel together. However, students can arrive and depart to the program before or after the dates established
(i.e. if they want to travel after the Study Abroad program)

· Optional programmed activities (Buenos Aires weekend, Gaucho Estancia, Iguazú Falls, etc.…)

· International insurance (Mandatory. Approx. $150)

· Argentina tourist entrance fee ($140)

o No visa is required to enter Argentina, but U.S. citizens must pay this fee upon entrance as reciprocity for the cost of a U.S. visa for Argentine citizens
