      About Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago

      The PUC is one of the best universities in Chile and Latin America. Home to almost 20,000 undergraduate students, it has four campuses in Santiago containing 18 different schools, with specialized libraries and computer labs at all campuses. Sixty-four of the 100 best students in Chile chose to attend the PUC.

      Engineering, political sciences, agricultural science, theology, arts, literature, history and aesthetics are the most popular subject areas studied by former IFSA-Butler students here.

      Welcoming Commission
      Undergraduate students at the PUC formed a welcoming committee to organize social and cultural activities for international students, in addition to introducing them to campus life. At present, IFSA-Butler students have participated in barbeques (choripanadas), theater outings, a visit to a vineyard and a rafting trip thanks to the organization. Members also sponsor an international festival every semester, where international students represent their home country by preparing typical food.

      Academics
      In addition to your university course work, you must take the Advanced Spanish program course. An optional program course, Chilean History, and an optional research project are also available. All coursework is in Spanish.
