Off-Campus
Study
Earlham’s Latin American Studies major requires students
to study in an off-campus program. Study in an international program enables
students to relate the theories learned in class and their experiences
on campus to fieldwork off-campus.
is structured to provide
both an intellectual encounter with Mexican society and hands-on field experiences. Students take classes in Spanish
language, and Mexican literature as well as participate in a field study program. Based in Cuautla, Morelos, southeast
of Mexico City, the program includes cultural excursions to such cities as Puebla and Cuernavaca and to such important
archaeological sites as Chalcatzingo and Cholula.
Border
Studies Program: Majors
choosing to study at the U.S.-Mexico Border may take classes at
University of Texas, El Paso; La Universidad Autónoma de la
Ciudad de Juárez; New
Mexico State University, and El Colegio de La Frontera.
These classes focus on issues relating to the border and cultural
identity. Earlham students live with families in either El
Paso, Texas, or Ciudad
Juárez, Mexico. Sponsored by the Great
Lakes Colleges Association and managed by Earlham,
the Border Studies Program provides Earlham students with the
opportunity to interact with students from other colleges. Students
also have opted
to study in other parts of Latin America.
