  Guanajuato, Mexico

Approximately 400 students have attended the summer program in Guanajuato, Mexico since it began in 1988.  Students can earn up to 6 units of transfer credit while studying in one of Mexico’s major cultural centers.  It was in Guanajuato that Hidalgo, the Father of Mexican Independence, fought and won his first battle.  An important mining area during the colonial period, Guanajuato has preserved that pre-nineteenth century flavor that attracts visitors annually. 

As the capital of the State of Guanajuato, it has museums, a major university, and offers important cultural events such as the International Cervantes Festival.  Attendance at cultural events and tours to neighboring colonial towns round out the learning experience.  Geographically, Guanajuato is equidistant from Mexico’s two largest cities, Guadalajara and Mexico City.  Students interested in spending a weekend in either the Capital or Guadalajara will find travel arrangements easy and inexpensive.
