The program may be divided between a ten-week component in Rome and four weeks in Siena. Students reside in a hotel in Rome and we anticipate homestays in Siena. Excursions to Florence and other sites are included. Cuernavaca is known as the City of Eternal Spring, about an hour south of Mexico City by car. Students study Spanish grammar and conversation three hours daily, a literature course taught by Professor Martinez, a series of two-week units on aspects of Mexican culture and civilization, plus elective credit.
Students reside in homestays.
Numerous excursions and study tours are available. Completion of intermediate college Spanish is required. Union College students co-enrolled. The Baobab Center also arranges homestays and provides cultural orientation and other logistical services. Special arrangements may be made for an independent study with a local organization.
