Your Gateway to a Thriving Career in Latin America

San Andrés Summer School (SASS) offers students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Latin America’s dynamic business landscape. SASS combines cutting-edge academics, corporate engagement, and cultural immersion to equip participants with the skills needed to excel in a globalized economy.
Set in Buenos Aires, a city renowned for its rich history, vibrant culture, and thriving business ecosystem, the program provides an unparalleled learning experience. Taking place in January, when Argentina enjoys warm summer weather, students will explore the professional and social fabric of Buenos Aires while engaging with industry leaders and academics.
Taught in English, the program consists of three academic modules covering key topics such as international business strategy, sustainability in emerging markets, and Argentina’s tech landscape. Each module integrates corporate visits, offering students firsthand exposure to leading regional firms.
Beyond academics, SASS emphasizes cultural immersion, allowing students to experience Argentina’s European-inspired architecture, world-famous cuisine, and dynamic social environment. This approach fosters cross-cultural understanding and valuable networking opportunities with peers and professionals from diverse backgrounds.
SASS is open to MBA students and advanced undergraduates in business-related fields. The program runs in January, with financial aid options available.
