 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.
