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.

Housing with Mexican host families  
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.
