Course Description
This deeply immersive GIX offers students an opportunity to gain a working knowledge of Chile’s business and social norms, economic and legal systems, and values and religious beliefs. The natural barriers and ideal climate conditions, especially in central Chile, set the stage for produce to thrive. During this GIX, students will have an opportunity to do a mini-project for a Chilean-based agricultural company, providing a unique opportunity for in-depth discussions with local businesspeople. Students will also meet with leading agricultural industry leaders to learn more about the industry and what it means to do business in Chile. Finally, students will visit Santa Cruz and the Colchagua Valley, the heart of the Chilean wine industry, to learn more about this unique region and the role it plays in the country’s agricultural sector.
