Dual Immersion Program
Dual Immersion is a program within the Association of Jesuit Universities in Latin America (AUSJAL) and the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) between 10 Latin American Jesuit universities and 12 American Jesuit colleges.
ITESO participates in this program in which language exchanges are made by video call, half in English and the other half in Spanish. The goal is for students to practice the language they are studying with a native speaker and at the same time share their knowledge to help their counterpart to do the same. Read more..
