ACADEMIC NOTES
The Human Sciences Faculty offers a Community Service Program where international and Uruguayan students work in poor areas. Program participants work with children or young people in a cross-cultural service-learning experience. Students enrolled in this Community Service Program receive a grade and credit hours for their participation.

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
In Uruguay, students have the opportunity to take the "servicios comunitarios" course, which integrates you into the local community through community service. This is a great opportunity to practice your Spanish while helping the community!
