LA UNIVERSIDAD DE GUANAJUATO

GUANAJUATO, MEXICO

 

Declared a United Nations World Heritage Site in 1988, Guanajuato is one of the most charming cities in all of Mexico. Nestled in steep hills, the city enjoys a climate of eternal spring. Guanajuato is the home of the famous Cervantes Festival each fall and hosts cultural programs featuring well-known guest artists year round. There are also numerous museums.

 

Students take language-based courses in Spanish in the Centro de Idiomas at the University of Guanajuato. Participants may also take courses in Spanish in various subjects outside of the language program. Students can earn a minor in Spanish in one semester.

 

Excursions change each semester but may include a visit to Mayan pyramids, Mexico City’s superb museums, or a horseback trip up a dormant volcano, as well as cultural events in town.

 

All participants live with host families, allowing them to develop vernacular as well as academic second language skills.

 

Contact the Center for International Education for information about the Guanajuato Summer Program.
