The university is located in Guanajuato, the capital of the state of Guanajuato, for four centuries the most important silver mining area in the country. The entire city, cradled in the mountains, is designated as a historic and architectural national monument. With no major industry and an elevation of 6,000 feet above sea level, the air is clear. The city prides itself as a small but vibrant cultural center for the entire state. The CIC Summer Program classes are held in the University's School of Humanities which overlooks the city.
Students live with host families.
