The Nahual Institute for Global Studies offers unique study abroad and cultural education programs. 

Our Latin American Studies programs offer courses that are especially designed to incorporate US academic standards with resources from the most respected academic institutions in Latin America.

Courses are team-taught by highly experienced faculty from the US and the host country.

Our programs integrate academic study with direct cultural immersion in order to promote justice and solidarity through the creation of a meaningful learning experience.

Coursework is augmented by guest lectures, volunteer opportunities, field trips to museums, cultural centers, historical sites, colonial ruins, local villages, grassroots organizations, health centers and institutions working on social justice and national security issues.

Nahual Institute for Global Studies donates a portion of every participant's tuition to the Nahual Foundation Scholarship Fund.  These scholarships are available to students from the host countries to enable them to further their research and studies.
