Study Abroad in Antigua, Guatemala

Posted by jdudek on March 7, 2007 in Study Abroad

The University of Arizona has partnered with the Center for Mesoamerican Research (CIRMA) in Antigua, Guatemala, to offer a summer and semester study abroad program for undergraduate honors students.

This an academically rigorous program, with many opportunities for honors students to interact with Central American researchers and activists and engage in co-curricular activities in Guatemala. CIRMA is Central America’s premier social science center, with an extensive research library and opportunities for students to conduct independent research.

CIRMA offers personalized classes taught by Central American scholars. Classes are offered in anthropology, archeology, history, literature, and politics, as well as Spanish and Mayan languages. The program includes field trips and a colloquium series, as well as internship and volunteer opportunities.

Classes can be taken for undergraduate or undergraduate honors credit, and sometimes for graduate credit. Students receive a University of Arizona transcript, so credits are fairly easy to transfer.
