The Intensive Spanish
Program has been designed for all
college-students. Participants in this program have the opportunity
to benefit from intensive Spanish courses in a Spanish-speaking
environment, with extracurricular activities, and especially
with the personal contact of their Mexican host families
We have established two annual sessions
applicable to institutions with semester schedules. For independent
students who don't wish to be a part of a University group,
courses may be started any Monday throughout the year.
Why
should you participate in an intensive Spanish semester program?
First of all, in a period of 12
weeks, you may receive up to 18 semester credits in intensive
Spanish language (maximum 5 students per group) and Latin American
culture classes.
In addition, world globalization has increased the demand for
highly trained professionals who are bilingual or have a knowledge
of a foreign language. This has led to an increase in people
who need and want to learn Spanish for both career and personal
interests.
By learning Spanish it is possible to communicate with over
300 million people from more than 35 Spanish speaking countries
each rich in culture, history and tradition.

In order to insure
that our students have the maximum exposure to the Mexican way
of life, the Housing Department puts a great deal of effort
into the selection of host families.
Living with a Mexican family will not only improve student’s
Spanish but will also give him/her a first hand view of Mexican
culture and tradition.
Excursions
The academic program
is supplemented by a variety of lively activities, including
excursions to archeological sites, museums and cultural events.
Cuernavaca
Cuernavaca, capital
of Morelos, is located just an hour south of Mexico City. It
is known as “The City of Eternal Spring”, boasting
year round temperatures of 75°.
Cuernavaca is surrounded by beautiful resorts, archaeological
sites and indigenous villages.
