Latin America Recruitment Program

Latin America presents excellent recruitment opportunities for Catholic universities and colleges. Latin America and the Caribbean are home to the majority of the world’s Catholic population: 39% of Catholics are found in this region of the world. Many Latin American students and families recognize the importance of an international educational experience, with many students seeking to improve their English language skills.

About the Tour

The National CCAA has led the recruitment tour to Latin America since 2009. The smaller size of the tour (15 institutions on average each year) offers the opportunity for meaningful interaction with students, parents and counselors in as many as seven countries in just over two weeks. Tour participants participate in counselor breakfasts and visit carefully selected high schools, meeting with students who are interested in Catholic higher education and in attending college in the U.S.

What past participants are saying

"I think the Latin America tour offers a great opportunity for new professionals in international admissions. During my first tour, I was brand new to the field, but the tour leaders helped show me the ropes and really worked with everyone on the tour to better understand the landscape of recruitment in the region. Now, in 2020, I’m looking forward to leading the tour and being able to share my perspective and experience with new tour participants."
