Since 1985, IUSI has provided intensive Spanish language and cultural immersion programs for undergraduate and graduate level college students. As well, IUSI administers two high school programs for exceptional youth, Artes en Mexico and ¡Pura Vida!, an intensive field biology program in the Costa Rican rain forest. IUSI sponsors the participation of Mexican high school students in a summer jazz music camp in Oregon.

In collaboration with the University of Oregon it will offer a new graduate seminar in Mexican literature and language.
