About The Program

If a full immersion experience in Latin America with centralized services for US students sounds like your kind of jam, this is the program for you. Ideal for students who want a future working across international borders, Tec de Monterrey offers courses in English as well as Spanish. Students with strong Spanish language skills can choose from the widest variety of courses, while non-Spanish speakers can enroll in courses offered in English and take Spanish language classes in an environment where they can put their new skills to use immediately. Classes taught in English are primarily in business with additional offerings in engineering, humanities, and political science. Experience Mexican culture, traditions, and cuisine firsthand as you improve your Spanish language skills.
