Buenos Aires Study Abroad Program
Counseling@NYU students have the opportunity to study abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as part of a course on multicultural and cross-cultural counseling.
Students who opt to enroll in the study abroad program will complete a 10-week online course and then spend one week abroad in Argentina, exploring how counselors, educators, and other helping professionals can develop cultural competence and cultural humility.
Cross-Cultural Counseling Course
In this course, students will explore how society and culture can influence behavior and experiences in Buenos Aires, a city with a rich, multicultural history.
During the 10-week online course, students will prepare for the one-week experiential study abroad experience by completing course work and discussing multicultural counseling concepts in live online classes.
While in Buenos Aires, students will immerse themselves in Argentinian culture and become acquainted with its cultural diversity and social justice challenges. Students will explore local models of wellness and human development through guest lectures and field visits with local educators, mental health professionals, and other service providers.
