ITESM, Mexico

Academics

ELIGIBILITY
To apply, you must be a currently-enrolled, degree-seeking undergraduate UW-Eau Claire student. You must be in good academic standing, and have a Campus Monterrey minimum cumulative resident GPA of 2.8. If you plan to take classes in Spanish, you must have completed Spanish 301 prior to participation in this exchange program. Business majors planning to take business courses in English are not required to have any previous Spanish study.

WHAT TYPE OF STUDENT SHOULD GO ON THIS PROGRAM?
You should be a very independent, flexible student to participate on the ITESM program. Each campus literally changes things each semester such as: dates, visa requirements, and when you receive certain information or are required to do forms for them. We usually learn of those changes when you do, so if you're prepared to be flexible and willing to live with a fair amount of ambiguity this program is for you!

COURSES
Depending on the campus, classes are offered in accounting, architecture, biology, business administration, chemistry, computer systems, economics, finance, journalism, mathematics, marketing, physics, psychology, Spanish language and literature and speech. The campuses also have academic internship opportunities.

Most classes are taught in Spanish, although many international business classes on the Monterrey campus are taught in English. You can find course offerings for each campus, including information on courses offered in English, Spanish, and specifically for international students, on each of the campuses in the exchange here:
