About Program

If you have to choose just one place along Chile’s thousands of miles of coast as a great place to study and learn, make it Valparaíso, a memorable old-world city designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site with funicular lifts that transport you above the rooftops and reveal stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.

Explore Latin American culture and improve your Spanish language skills by taking courses with local and other international students, taught in your choice of English and Spanish at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV), one of Chile’s most recognized universities. A multi-campus university with a highly diverse student body, PUCV is an ideal learning environment if you want to experience cultural and language immersion in a seaside, Spanish-speaking city rich with history.

Diversity & Inclusion

BIPOC Support

CEA CAPA provides, in conjunction with Diversity Abroad, Destination Guides which provide resources and tips for Black/African-American students, Latinx students, Asian American students, and all other students of color.

LGBTQIA+ Support

Through our personalized advising, CEA CAPA takes steps to understand the needs of a diversity of student identities like the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition to diversity and identity training, CEA CAPA leadership engage in continuous department level project work to identify and revise policies and practices using the appropriate Justice, Equity, Diversity or Inclusion lens as a frame to reduce bias and barriers that impact students, faculty, and staff. CEA CAPA is intentional in elevating diverse student voices and providing a platform for a broad array of identities to share their experiences abroad. The CEA CAPA World Blog promotes stories and personal experiences from the perspectives of diverse student bloggers and vloggers.

Neurodivergent Support

CEA CAPA is willing and able to assist students with learning disabilities and physical disabilities. Students are requested to disclose disabilities through the application health forms as part of their application and in discussion with their application advisor or program manager. The earlier CEA CAPA is made aware of learning or physical disabilities the better we can work with the student, institution, and overseas team to tailor an Individualized Education Program if necessary to support the student.
