The Mexico program will not run in Summer 2027.
This eight-week advanced Spanish program explores the complex history of Mexico through its rich artistic culture and public art while also engaging with contemporary art in the public sphere. You will actively participate in traditional and popular artistic workshops in Mexico City, Puebla, and Oaxaca through weekly visits and excursions to an array of cultural, social, and historic venues.
At the end of the program, you will create an artistic digital book where you engage with the themes explored in class and reflect on your linguistic and cultural experiences in Mexico City and in Mexican cultural institutions.
Program Structure
The program includes advanced Spanish language classes three times a week. Students will engage with invited speakers and participate in one field trip each week. Excursions to significant sites throughout Mexico — which may include Teotihuacán, Puebla, and Oaxaca — form an integral part of the curriculum.
