WELCOME TO THE CIMAT'S INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM

Registration is open for the 2026 Programs. If interested, contact us.

Mathematical Sciences Semesters in Guanajuato (MSSG) is an international study abroad program open to undergraduate students majoring in Mathematics or related fields who want to enhance their skills in areas such as mathematical modeling, data analysis and computer science. 

The program was developed based on CIMAT's long-standing tradition in interdisciplinary work involving Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science for research pursuits, teaching, and collaborations with government and industry. 

Activities are conducted in English in small groups, providing students with opportunities to become involved with ongoing applications and research projects, and to interact with undergraduate and graduate students.
All this while the participants explore the culture of Mexico in a fascinating city thanks to its mixture of centuries-old local traditions and events with international projection.

We offer two modalities of study throughout the year: Semester-Based Programs and Short Courses. Apart of taking courses, one can participate as well in Independent Research Projects.

Renewed Semester Based Programs
The usual study load of a Semester includes two courses, an independent research project, and a Spanish course. At the start of each semester, students can participate in a short, intensive coding workshop. The courses are structured along two main themes: mathematical modeling and data science, with a special interest in intersecting topics. 

For more information consult the course catalogue.

Short Courses
A full-day, three-week program offered in January and during the summer, combining academic activities with cultural experiences related to Mexico, Guanajuato, and the Spanish language.
