  • UConn Migration Studies Seminar in Oaxaca, Mexico

    UConn Migration Studies Seminar in Oaxaca, Mexico program - Summer 2014
     
    Earn 4 credits in 15 days! No previous Spanish or travel experience necessary!
    Open to both undergraduates and graduate students!

    This is a unique UConn 4 credit program, a dynamic introduction to the history, language, sounds, sites, tastes and rhythms of our southern neighbor with a focus on migration to the United States. The very safe and welcoming city of Oaxaca and neighboring towns will be our classrooms as we explore together this beautiful and complex part of the world. Of course, there will be plenty of time to soak up the Mexican sun in the city of the "eternal spring". The small size of the group (10-15 students) allows us to tailor the experience to the specific major/study interests of the individual student. The program will run from May 11-26 2014.
