We're upgrading your Student Portal! Log in and new applications are unavailable now through end of day July 6 (CT)— that's when you'll return to an easier, improved system.

Already working on a form? Anything you submitted before June 30 carried over automatically. Forms that were started but not submitted don't transfer, but don't worry, you'll find the same forms waiting for you in the new portal on July 6. For more details, please review our student system upgrade information. Want a heads-up when the new portal is live? Fill out our interest form.

Thank you for your patience during this transition! We're excited to welcome you into the new portal and continue supporting you every step of the way.

Intern Abroad in South America

Internships in Latin America open doors of opportunities to grow professionally and personally. The cultures of Latin America are as diverse as the region’s landscapes. However, our internship placements in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador all offer you a rewarding job experience with a wealth of long-lasting career benefits such as connections with international professionals and practice with your Spanish language skills in a workplace.

Whether you want to intern full time in Chile or add a part-time internship to your study abroad experience in Argentina, Chile, or Ecuador, check out the program options below.
