About The Program
Ready for adventure? Got a research topic in mind? Take your curiosity and ideas to Mexico, where a diverse population, rich ecology, and fascinating history provide compelling possibilities for research. Courses in field research methods, Mexican culture, and Spanish language in Mexico City combined with mentors set you up for success. Present your findings during a trip to Cuetzalan, a town in a mountainous area near waterfalls and pyramid ruins. This is a research experience that can set you apart when pursuing a career. Program trips may include a visit to the pyramids of Teotihuacan, a performance of Ballet Folklórico, or the mountain getaway of Malinalco.
Where you'll study
Located between Coyoacán and San Ángel, UC Center Mexico City is housed in La Casa de California. La Casa de California is a University of California facility founded to enhance the cultural ties between California and Mexico. Near several premier institutions of learning and research, this UC Center is a miniature campus with offices, lounge areas, and classrooms. A beautiful building from the turn of the 20th century and elegantly landscaped grounds make the complex a comfortable, relaxed place for students and scholars to interact and take part in cultural events.
