Study Abroad in Mexico in summer 2014 is through our friends at one of Mexico’s premier universities—La Universidad de Guanajuato, located in the geographic center of the country. Guanajuato is the capital city of the state with the same name. It is a city unique in many ways as a UNESCO Cultural heritage city; in some ways it is a step backwards in time, with cobblestone streets and Spanish and French architecture, but is also a tech savvy university town where students from all over Mexico and the world come to study and indulge in the arts. With wonderful food, relaxed environment, almost perfect weather, welcoming community, Guanajuato is a wonderful place in which to engage Mexican culture. Combining components, we are able to offer6 credit hoursin a succinct one month,with all expenses paid, including room & board, round trip transportation, & tuition for just under $4000.
