Mexico: El Colegio de Mexico - Main Page

Mexico, lying just beyond U.S. borders, is a valuable neighbor and friend. Our countries share a common interest in trade and migration patterns, and we share a collective historical and cultural identity. Yet, as close as we are, studying in Mexico is indeed studying abroad. Spend a semester or year in Mexico and uncover a magical land of contrasts. As you improve your Spanish skills, you will also unearth Mexican culture & history — from the Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza to the Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico City, revealing captivating stories along the way. Interact with friendly natives — outgoing and eager people who are happy to show you their country. Delve into international business; as a trading partner with Canada, Europe, Central and South America, the United States, and Israel, Mexico plays a vital role in the global business community. Explore breathtaking natural landscapes — from the beaches of Acapulco and Sonoran desert valleys, to the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains and Mexico's mysterious caves and waterfalls.
