Overview
ISA programs in Guanajuato, Mexico, are all-inclusive. The University of Guanajuato is an accredited university and issues all transcripts. Two summer sessions are offered with the opportunity to gain college credit. Students at all levels of Spanish proficiency are eligible.
Guanajuato (pop. 120,000), located four and a half hours northwest of Mexico City, remains one of Mexico’s most well-preserved cities. Guanajuato is home to the world-renowned Teatro Juárez and many beautiful 18th century cathedrals which were financed by the wealth of the area's silver mining industry. Its older buildings still appear relatively untouched by modern construction, lending the town a distinctive European air. Built by the citizens in the early 1900s to divert flooding of the Río Guanajuato, the city has an intricate system of underground tunnels. Today, these tunnels-turned-streets contribute to the town’s timeless appearance by eliminating many of the cars, which would otherwise crowd the town’s center. Guanajuato’s rich history, former inaccessibility, and small size all help to create a truly unique atmosphere.
Academic Credit

Each ISA student will be issued an official transcript from the host university upon successful completion of the program. Exactly how the credit earned abroad will transfer will be determined by the student's US academic institution.
