The UNC participates in Córdoba’s Province’s development of idiomatic tourism through the Spanish and Latin American Culture Program. PECLA is unique in its kind among national universities, thus placing itself in a privileged position from the academic perspective. As part of the internationalization process of Argentina's higher education, the program, which depends on the International Relations Office, pursues the aim of positioning the UNC as an academic center of excellence worldwide.
