The University of Guadalajara, located in the state of Jalisco, is the second largest Mexican university in terms of enrolled students. This agreement will allow mobility to the 15 campuses of the University of Guadalajara, some as noteworthy as that of Puerto Vallarta, which offers many incentives for motivating UMH faculty and student mobility. This agreement covers 24 degree programs, 16 of which are undergraduate and 8 that are master’s programs.

Associate Professor González, in addition to meeting with Rector Cortés Guardado, also met with department directors and degree program coordinators at the Puerto Vallarta campus, where he presented the UMH and explained the specific agreements that have been signed between both institutions.

Finally, as part of the UMH internationalization plan and its strategy for fortifying international relations with Mexican universities, Associate Professor González will also travel to the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí (Mexico) in the upcoming days, where he will sign another faculty and student mobility agreement.
