Study Abroad

Winter Term in Mexico

In 1984, North Park initiated a study abroad program in Morelia, Mexico for students with 3 or more semesters of college-level Spanish language. Students study the Spanish language and Mexican culture while living with families in the central highlands of Mexico. Highlights include:

• Weekend excursions to Mexico City, Uruapan, Patzcuaro, Guanajuato, and the beach at Zihuatenejo.
• School sponsored social events, conversation club, and non-credit courses in cooking, art, music, and dance.
• Weekly service projects in the region allow students to volunteer time on crucial health and economic development programs.

All students participating in the Morelia program must take Spanish 2130 Mexican Culture and History in the fall semester. Program costs are comparable to current North Park tuition and fees. Students must provide their own airfare and spending money.

North Park University is a member of ISEP, a worldwide network for international education, consisting of 275 member colleges and universities in the United States and more than 40 other countries.
