Study Abroad at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María

About Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María in Chile

Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (commonly referred to as the USM) has 10,000 students in an environment dedicated to teaching and research at the highest level. All of the university's academic programs are well known for their excellence.

USM believes that providing a comprehensive academic program means including sports, physical activity, arts and languages as a substantial part of the student's formation. For that reason, the Institute of Humanities Studies (Departamento de Estudios Humanísticos) plays a key role in providing students with tools to become citizens who are sensitive to what is happening around them. USM's Department of Humanities offers disciplines that are geared toward both national and international students. In addition, the department has many non-traditional courses that focus on culture, civilization, sociology, politics, music, ethics and literature.

The Department of Humanities also provides students with a wide range of undergraduate academic support activities such as theatre workshops, painting exhibitions and subject-related seminars. Its aim is to enhance the central USM mission of teaching and research in science and technology in a number of ways.

IFSA-Butler students are able to take a maximum of two classes in USM's humanities department. Students who are taking courses at Universidad de Valparaíso may enroll in only one class at USM.
