The Centers for Interamerican Studies (CEDEI) is a not-for-profit institution of higher learning, dedicated to the study of American languages and cultures. CEDEI was founded in 1992 in recognition of the 500th anniversary of the meeting of the Old and New Worlds. To foster understanding among the people of the Americas, CEDEI sponsors a variety of academic activities independently and in conjunction with universities in North and South America.

CEDEI also offers flexible, non-credit Spanish immersion classes and volunteer opportunities, as well as two-year degrees in Television Production, Sales and International Marketing and Entrepreneurship through our Technological College.

The main CEDEI Center is situated in the beautiful colonial heart of the city, just a few blocks from the central plaza, Parque Calderón. The building houses CEDEI’s Department of International Programs and Spanish Language Department, language research center, classrooms, and rooftop student center.
