The cultural experience and the language I learned were the greatest benefits. During each 5-week session, CEPE organizes numerous day and weekend excursions to nearby cities such as Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, and Puerto Vallarta. CEPE also offers a variety of cultural activities to complement the classroom experience. Examples include a conversation partner program, folk concerts and dances, movies, non-credit classes in cooking, dance, and folkloric guitar, and special lectures given by university professors.
All coursework is in Spanish.

Shockingly green, clean, and accessible, Guadalajara is an urban traveler's dream.
