More Program Details

Join us for more information about the exciting May Term Abroad Program, Ancient & Colonial Heritage in Latin America: Cultural Treasures of the Maya!

With a focus on travel and hands-on experiences, this program offers an interdisciplinary overview of the heritage of Central America through Mayan and Colonial history in Guatemala and Belize. The program begins at Casa Herrera, UT Austin's educational and research facility in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Antigua, where students will be matched with local family stays, and ends in the Caribbean coast of Belize.

Coursework relies on student-designed research projects based on direct observation of archaeological sites, museums, villages, cooperative businesses, natural reserves and protected ecosystems, experienced through the extensive travel components of the program.
