Academic Programs

BorderLinks has partnered with several colleges and universities in developing the Semester and Summer on the Border Programs. Both programs offer students a unique opportunity for academic study, experiential learning, and community living along the U.S.-Mexico border in Tucson, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. BorderLinks is committed to providing a challenging and transformative educational experience though a variety of interdisciplinary approaches focusing on border studies and the impact of globalization. Emphasis is also placed on intercultural relationship-building, critical reflection, and strengthening Spanish language skills. We seek to equip our students with the necessary skills to observe, analyze and respond to the challenges of the world community as socially cognizant and responsible global citizens.
