Six universities join for summer school
Six U.S. universities will join with the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO) to form a summer school in Guadalajara this summer. Classes will be held at ITESO’s new campus in Las Fuentes. The six-week program will offer fully accredited courses in language, literature, psychology, history, political science and fine arts. The program will have the only new and completely furnished language lab in the city. Professors will be drawn from the six universities (Georgetown U., Gonzaga U., St. Louis U., Loyola U., St. Bonaventure and Holy Cross), as well as from a selected group of Mexican scholars.
