<p>Dear Bryan, Anna Luisa and everyone else on the list,</p>
<p>I just wanted to add a few comments as I am a professor at the UNAM. We don't have a Linguistics Department per se, we have a Linguistics graduate program, which Anna Luisa linked to. There is no undergraduate degree in Linguistics here. The MA program is either for Hispanic Linguistics or Applied Linguistics (the latter involves many researchers at the CELE, the center for foreign language teaching), while the PhD is more open to topics related to indigenous language studies. The Anthropology graduate program is less focused on linguistics than the Linguistics one. There is also a Mesoamerican Studies graduate program that involves language classes (Classical Nahuatl and Yucatec Maya) as well as some basic linguistics and philology classes. </p>
<p>In addition to these programs, there is also the master's and PhD program at CIESAS in Mexico City/San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas (<a href="http://www.ciesas.edu.mx/" target="_blank"><span>http://www.ciesas.edu.mx/</span></a>) -- this is where Mario Chavez works. This department is geared towards training native speaker linguists. </p>
<p>There is also the PhD program in Linguistics at the Colegio de México in Mexico City (<a href="http://cell.colmex.mx/" target="_blank"><span>http://cell.colmex.mx/</span></a>). There are also various linguistics programs in other universities in Mexico, such as the linguistics department at the Universidad de Sonora in Hermosillo (<a href="http://www.letrasylinguistica.uson.mx/" target="_blank"><span>http://www.letrasylinguistica.uson.mx/</span></a>). There are other programs, but they are a bit smaller in terms of the number of faculty. </p>
<p>Finally, the ENAH (the National School of Anthropology and History) has linguistics programs at various levels (BA, MA and PhD) (<a href="http://www.enah.edu.mx/" target="_blank"><span>http://www.enah.edu.mx/</span></a>) and the campus is very close to the UNAM in Mexico City. </p>
<p>If you or your friends or colleagues have any other specific questions regarding linguistics programs in Mexico, please do not hesitate to email me off-list with more specific questions. I would be more than happy to help and could even put your friends or colleagues in touch with some of my friends and students, some of whom are studying their own languages. They could provide specific information regarding their experiences. </p>
<p>Best,</p><p>Carolyn</p><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="">On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 1:09 PM, Bryan James Gordon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:linguist@email.arizona.edu" target="_blank">linguist@email.arizona.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I know very little about the programs in Mexico (some I know are quite prestigious, but I don't know which ones are appropriate for an applied focus), and from what I understand there is no linguistics major at all in Panama. I've encouraged my colleagues to look into opportunities in Bolivia and Colombia for the indigenous universities, and Spain because they have a lot of scholarships for Latin Americans. But I don't really know where in particular to steer them even in those places, or if there are any good North American programs with scholarships available for Latin Americans. I'd be interested in any of y'all's suggestions!<span><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
