    What is a course in South American studies? Coursework focuses on the cultures of South America, including Brazil, Chile, Venezuela and Argentina. Portuguese and Spanish might be included as part of coursework. Political processes and history are taught in most courses as well. Courses are taught together or separately, and some offer excursions and activities outside the classroom. Some are aimed at those seeking language proficiency, undergraduate or graduate work or those seeking a doctorate. Typical course duration is several months in an international setting.

    Learning Spanish or Portuguese gives participants reading, writing and speaking skills to use to market themselves for jobs, community service and international outreach. These skills can extend the marketability or boost a resume for certain employment opportunities.

    Depending on whether students study abroad or locally, cost varies widely. Additional factors to include in the research include additional fees, potential travel costs, visas, lodging while abroad and the duration of course.
