Hacienda Santa Clara - Study Abroad Programs 2.84

The Hacienda Santa Clara Education and Research Center is located in San Miguel de Allende, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. The Center focuses on higher education programs and research. Partnerships with universities, the private and public sectors in our region offer high-impact learning opportunities for faculty-led study abroad programs from Higher Education Institutions in North America and the world.

We design custom programs for faculty that connect the international experience with discipline specific content to ensure the desired academic outcomes. Our team manages all the logistics so that professors can focus on the academic and cultural components of their trips and we provide faculty support in all aspects of risk management. Thanks to our relationships with the local and state community, we offer field trip opportunities that are both outstanding and affordable for students. The Hacienda Santa Clara is also a member of The Forum on Education Abroad.

The Center is completely self-contained, sustainable, with indoor and outdoor classrooms, auditorium, dining areas, dormitories, faculty villas, information technology and WiFi throughout, studios, art galleries, student lounges, a swimming pool, a temazcal, jogging trails, and extensive gardens on a secure, working farm.The campus is a 20 minute drive to the historic center of San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a global arts and cultural destination.
