Description

Founded in 1985, the university has two campuses. Study abroad students study at the more central campus, which is located in Dehesa de la Villa, a university neighborhood known for the preservation of its great park. It is well connected to downtown and other parts of city, with public buses and a metro station. The university services around 2,800 students per year, 500 of which are international students.
Intensive Spanish courses are offered throughout the year, in both summer and semester programs. Students also have the option to take electives in Spanish and English from various concentrations.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement

Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent, we're a hybrid of the two: a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer, and our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of these programs. Our pledge to our participants is to make going abroad 'worry-free'. There is no risk in choosing an AmeriSpan program because you'll get the best program, best price and can cancel for any reason and get a full refund on every dollar we have received for your program.
