Similar to Maryville College, the Universidad Interamericana places a strong emphasis on the liberal arts and community service. Approximately 14,000 students are enrolled in the San German campus. Although Spanish is the primary language of instruction at the Universidad Interamericana, students may take courses taught in either English or Spanish in a wide range of subjects. The curriculum is particularly well suited to students majoring in the social sciences or business. A special program of Spanish language courses is also offered for students who are at a high -intermediate level.
Students live in the residence halls on campus and eat in the campus cafeteria.
There are also several restaurants and fast food establishments located near the campus. It should be noted that the campus cafeteria is closed on Saturdays and Sundays because the majority of the students go home on weekends. Fall semester is hurricane season and the university must sometimes close unexpectedly during that time.
