The length of time and credit granted varies for each program. The Intensive Spanish Study in Mexico is a program designed to integrate academic study of Spanish with the Spanish culture. Students have the opportunity to take six hours of classroom instruction daily, which earns them three credit hours for each two weeks of study. Excursions to sites such as Tepozteco Pyramid and Mexico City are included. A weekend trip to Acapulco is also arranged.
Students find themselves enjoying Mexican plays, concerts, fiestas, and films throughout their stay.
The amount of extra spending money brought is completely up to the participant. This program is offered to students who have completed FL 171 and 172 or equivalent before the departure date.
