In response to the increasing demand for this excellent academic and cultural experience we now offer it year round. The main goal of this comprehensive program is to substantially raise the participant's level of Spanish communication skills and to provide a relevant opportunity for cultural immersion through a combination of classwork, lecture sessions, field trips, and family homestay. This particular program is made up of 8 levels of Spanish language and various options related to the History and Culture of Mexico. Its curricula are designed by the senior faculty of the university's International Language Center and the Humanities Institute. The high quality of the program is confirmed by the excellent evaluations received from former participants as well as its ten years of continuing success.
Participants complete one level per session.
The course is 4 hours per day, five days a week. Spring and Fall semester courses are 45 contact hours and other activities. All courses are offered in English except for the Literature course, which is taught only in Spanish. Participants can take the three day trip to Mexico City as a complement for the contact hours. This tour led by a faculty member, will include museums and important sites like el Templo Mayor, Teotihuacan, the National Museum of Anthropology, etc.
