MAY TERM ABROAD: ANCIENT & COLONIAL HERITAGE IN LATIN AMERICA: CULTURAL
TREASURES OF THE MAYA

 * Antigua, Guatemala

 

*Page being modified for 2025* With a focus on travel and hands-on experiences,
this program offers an interdisciplinary overview of the heritage of Central
America through Maya 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.
