Academic Departments

Classes Offered

Students may take direct enrollment classes (regular university classes) for which they meet the prerequisites. Academic fields most appropriate for ISEP participants include business administration; engineering, especially civil works and seismic engineering; chemical sciences; education, especially courses in family counseling and those of interest to bilingual teachers; and the division of architecture/graphic design, which offers courses in art history, fine arts and pre-Colombian art. Courses sometimes offered in English for foreign students include Mexican history, geography, sociology, political structure, anthropology, art, commercial and financial environment. These courses can be taken in conjunction with regular course offerings, but require a minimum enrollment of 10 students and are not included in ISEP benefits.

An intermediate level of Spanish is required (equivalent to two years of university study). Students will be required to take a language exam just prior to beginning classes. Participants not meeting the proficiency requirement will have to enroll in Spanish language courses on a fee basis and obtain written approval for enrollment in regular courses.
