Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad: Mexico: Migration, Borders, and Transnational Communities

Discover the human impacts of undocumented migration, border enforcement, and shifting international tensions. Begin in Tucson, Arizona, near a major U.S. entry point, to learn what migrants face after crossing the border. Then travel to Oaxaca to study how economics, policy, and conflict affect migration patterns. In Mexico City, meet with organizations supporting migrants in transit, explore historical sites, and visit one of Latin America’s most important anthropological museums. Throughout, develop Spanish skills through coursework, homestays, and excursions.

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"There were various opportunities to interact with locals and practice Spanish outside of a classroom setting. The various excursions are the best aspect of the program as they were well organized, in various locations, and offer insight into the topic of immigration, local Indigenous communities, and transnational communities. The host program offered engaging classes and the staff were very kind and accessible. The host family living arrangements were safe and comfortable. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience that gave me the opportunity to learn more about a topic that interests me. I would recommend it!"
