Recognized as one of the finest universities in Mexico, ITAM graduates play leading roles in business and government. Goizueta Business School exchange participants may take courses in any of ITAM's graduate business programs, which include the MBA, Masters in International Management, or Masters in Finance. Masters programs are housed in the new ITAM Center for Research and Graduate Studies. With the exception of the Finance program, most courses are taught in the late afternoon and evening.
All classes are in Spanish but many of the readings are in English.
Exchange students taking late afternoon and evening classes can use the daytime hours to pursue an internship, hold group meetings, complete assignments, take additional Spanish classes, attend special conferences and seminars at ITAM, or explore the world's most populous city. ITAM's exchange coordinator and previous exchange participants encourage Goizueta Business School students to consider enrollment for two trimesters so they can take two courses per term and enjoy a schedule that more closely resembles that of ITAM's many part-time students. It is recommended that candidates enroll in an intensive summer language program to strengthen their Spanish language skills. ITAM may be able to assist students in securing internships and will also help students to find affordable housing.
