[International] Intensive Spanish in Cuernavaca, Mexico



Dear Student:

You are receiving this message either because you are a member of the INTERNATIONAL listserv or because you indicated an interest in the UW Oshkosh-sponsored study abroad program "Intensive Spanish in Cuernavaca, Mexico."

Join other students from UW Oshkosh and from around the world for language and culture courses and workshops taught at Cuauhnáhuac Spanish Language Institute! Students focus on grammar and language practice, participate in guided conversations, and learn situational Spanish or involve themselves in cultural conferences daily. Weekly excursions to important historical and cultural sites and a homestay opportunity round out the experience.

Students may also volunteer to work with Mexican children from low-income neighborhoods. The program is geared towards establishing a relationship with the children and teaching them some English.

Cuauhnáhuac Spanish Language Institute is located in Cuernavaca, Morelos, México, about 1 1/2 hours from México City. It is housed in a former residence with beautiful green gardens, a swimming pool, a volleyball / basketball court and patios for relaxing and enjoying spring-like temperatures all year round. It's the perfect place to be during a Wisconsin winter! The administration building includes a computer lab, a reference library, a large living room, and a lecture hall. A quaint restaurant offers a varied menu of typical Mexican meals. The school also organizes occasional gatherings and cultural activities such as craft workshops, conversation language exchanges, and movie nights.

Students who wish to attend Cuauhnáhuac Spanish Language Institute for an additional week or two before/after the official program may earn one additional credit per week.

Program fees are currently estimated at $2,830 ~ $3,110 based on 12-20 participants.  There are no additional tuition costs. The more students who sign up for this program, the lower the cost per student will be. You can help lower your cost to study abroad by recruiting friends and classmates to join you in this experience!  For information on what these program fees cover and for an estimate of other expenses associated with the program (e.g. passport fees, meal costs, etc.), see
