| The
Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso is considered one of
the best universities in Chile. In 2003 the university celebrated
its 75th anniversary. The Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso
currently offers a wide range of classes and degrees to
the over 12,000 students currently enrolled. Over the years
the university has also offered international students the
opportunity to come to Chile to study Spanish and take classes
with other Chilean students. Last year the Universidad Catolica
de Valparaiso accepted more than 400 international students
from all over the world. These students participated in
semester programs, year long programs and the specialized
one month programs.
One week prior to the
start of each semester, the university has an orientation
week which is designed to help international students integrate
into the program, find out more about Valparaiso and Vina
del Mar, and of course, Chile. During this orientation week
students are tested to determine their Spanish language
skills and based on that are advised as to the type of classes
they may enroll in.
