STUDY in PUEBLA, MEXICO!
Embark on a transformative journey of cultural immersion in the heart of Mexico with our summer program based in Puebla. One of the unique features of this program is the opportunity to earn 9 credits in just 6 weeks. Through intensive language courses and engaging cultural study, students rapidly develop their language proficiency while gaining a deep understanding of Mexican culture. Our carefully curated curriculum ensures a dynamic and interactive learning environment.
