acquire proficiency in Spanish while being immersed in Mexican culture. The Program includes lectures, conversation
hours and field trips that support language proficiency and are inspired by the
University’s mission of social justice.

but also as a unique cultural and social experience that includes a wide range
of activities, such as language-conversation exchanges with Mexican students,
visits to historical sites, a weekend with an indigenous community, workshops
on Mexican art, etc. Offered in
collaboration with Universidad Iberoamericana-Puebla and USF’s Spanish and
Latin American Studies Program.
Students who receive a passing grade of “C” or better in the
class will fulfill their 3rd semester of Spanish.
