ACCREDITATION
There are four major methods in which a student may seek credit through CEA:
- CEA will send an official transcript to any other university or school system for the student. The student will receive a grade report but not the official transcript.
- CEA is accredited through Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri.
- CEA is accredited through World Educational Services in southern Texas, an agency that approves credit from foreign countries specifically for universities and schools in the United States.
- Any other university in the United States may approve CEA credit for its own university underthe auspices of its own program.

CREDITS
DIPLOMADO & MASTER'S STUDENTS
Fifteen contact hours = 1 credit hour
Thirty contact hours = 2 credit hours
Forty-five contact hours = 3 credit hours
Tuition fees cover enrollment in 4-5 Diplomado or Master’s courses, plus up to 3 Workshop selections. Additional credit may be earned, but additional fees of $100/credit hour will be assessed. Please see the description of our updated program which now allows you to earn up to 15 credits each summer. Once you have been admitted into the Master’s Program, this means that you may complete the degree program in three summers! The placement exam may determine that you must start at the Diplomado level to enhance your abilities and knowledge base before entering the Master’s Program.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
High School students may choose to study for high school credit (IF accepted by their own school), or to study for undergraduate credit (undergraduate credit will only be awarded if entrolled in Diplomado courses, but Workshop courses ARE included). The CENTRO de ESTUDIOS AMERICANOS High School program consists of Phonetics, Grammar, Conversation, and a private tutor primarily through our NEW Summer Youth Camp program. The level of grammar and conversation courses will depend on the number of years the student has already studied.
Students will spend 15 hours of actual class time and the additional 80 hours will come from the time spent in conversation outside of the classroom in real-life situations: in the home, in stores, in the post office, in the bank, in restaurants, playing sports, learning culture through dance, art, cooking, shopping, on excursions, etc. Our recommendation is that credit for one semester be granted for the successful completion of a 3-week session.
SCHOOL SONG
(Música de "La Adelita"; clave de La / Key of A )
Verso Uno
A Saltillo llegamos de pronto
para hablar, bailar y estudiar.
Nunca pienses que llegue a olvidarlo;
con cada cheve lo voy a recordar.
Verso Dos
Si de Saltillo salgo este día,
es imposible poderlo olvidar;
pues el CEA me dio mucha alegría,
y con nostalgia lo voy a recordar.
Verso Tres
Mi corazón dejé en Saltillo:
a recogerlo un día volveré.
Otras clases y otras amistades
que de seguro también disfrutaré.
Verso Quatro
Si yo pudiera regresar a mi Saltillo
disfrutaría su clima y su calor,
las montañas cubiertas de neblina,
y los sarapes con todo su color.
TUTORS
Work in conversation courses consists of group work with a conversation instructor daily and one hour of one-on-one conversation with a private tutor four days per week.
Students and their tutor may work on reading, pronunciation practice, vocabulary building or on homework assignments. However, they are not confined to the University grounds. Tutors may help the student with shopping, sight-seeing, banking, etc. Any activity which involves common daily conversation is valid. The tutor can be invaluable in orienting the student to Saltillo and the customs of Mexico.
The Spanish spoken by tutors is representative of that spoken by the educated people of Latin America.
