Mexico is relevant to current issues

in the U.S.

  • Study current events and issues that are relevant to U.S. politics today.  Get first-hand knowledge of issues like NAFTA, immigration, and social movements from a different and up-close point of view.  Speak directly with local leaders and others involved in these issues.

  • Gain a deeper understanding of cultural values while developing Spanish and intercultural communication skills that will help you interact and work more effectively with the Latino population living in the United States.

  • Apply the learning and experience you gained while studying in Mexico to your studies or internships back home, regardless of your major.

Did you know that:

Mexico is the United States' second most important trading partner

 

Mexican immigrants is the largest immigrant group in the US

 

I’ve loved hearing real stories about immigration and learning from this side of the border rather than the United States. By coming here I’ve learned a lot about the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico and why people emigrate, whereas before I just heard people’s opinions on TV and in the newspapers.
