Study Abroad in Guatemala The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona invites you to participate in its ten-year-old study abroad program in Guatemala. We partner with the Association for the Advancement of the Social Sciences in Guatemala (AVANCSO). AVANCSO is one of Guatemalas leading intellectual centers, emphasizing the connection between research and social action (avancso.org.gt/). Classes are held in the El Sitio Cultural Center in Antigua, Guatemala (elsitiocultural.org/), a stunningly beautiful World Heritage town (whc.unesco.org/en/list/65), and students live with Guatemalan families in Antigua. The University of Arizona/AVANCSO study abroad program in Guatemala is a unique experience that combines rigorous academics with for-credit internships that engage students in a transformational pedagogy. Our program weaves together theoretical and practical engagement in themes such as development and public health, ethnic relations and human rights, and indigenous politics with ongoing reflection of current events, home-stay experiences, top-notch language training and encounters with Guatemalan activists, artists, students and scholars. You will be opening yourself to sights and sounds, thoughts and feelings of a country known equally for its spectacular beauty and deep social contrasts. Our goal is to give you a prism with which to analyze the present and build your personal and professional future in relation to a rapidly changing and increasingly challenged planet and its people.
