Study Abroad Programs In Spanish

**Cuernavaca, Mexico**
 

The IU South Bend Departments of World Languages and Sociology, in cooperation with the Office of International Programs, offer this unique opportunity to spend four weeks studying language, culture and society in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Students enroll in and receive credit for Spanish language and Sociology courses. Accommodations, including meals, are provided in homes of Mexican families. This experience is an invaluable way to learn about Mexican culture on a personal level and an important element in mastering Spanish. The courses are taught at the Universal Center for Language and Social Communication in Cuernavaca. For detailed information on the program and preparation to travel to Mexico, contact the Office of International Programs (520-4419). A video about the Cuernavaca Program is available in the LaRC, DW 1105, for viewing.
