Hints for Researching Courses
1. Go to the university's web site at www.uccor.edu.ar. This site should be navigated in Internet Explorer. Some other browsers, such as Firefox, will load the site with errors and you will be unable to reach the courses listings.
2. Toward the top right of the page, in a blue box, there is a drop-down menu entitled "UNIDADES ACADEMICAS." Select the academic area that best matches the courses you are looking for. For example, if you are searching for history courses, choose "Filosofia y Humanidades."
3. Once the new page has loaded, there will be a menu on the left side of the page. Select "Carreras" and you will see a list of all the majors available in that faculty. Choose the major that best matches the courses you are looking for.
4. When you arrive at the page for that specific major, there will be another menu on the left side of the page. This time, select "Plan de Estudio."
5. A list will appear with all the courses required to complete that major, divided by year. Click the pink "Abstract" button next to the course name and a brief course description will appear in a pop-up window.
Please note: The courses listed online for each major show the curriculum required of students majoring in that field. The list is not a timetable and the courses may not be available each semester. Some courses are full-year (March-December) only and these are known as annual. Upon receipt of your application, the ISEP coordinator at Córdoba will confirm whether or not your desired courses are available during your requested study period. Please note on the Course Request List whether you are flexible with the courses and would be willing to take alternate courses. Mark with an asterisk any course that you must take in order to study there, keeping in mind that this may prevent you from being confirmed if the course is not available.
