New York University offers its students the rare opportunity to study and stay in the intriguing Cuban capital, legally off-limits to American tourists. NYU in Havana is intended for students with highly developed Spanish ability, and who are at ease with lectures conducted in that language. The program includes excursions to sites of cultural and historic interest, including the Museum of the Revolution, Old Havana, and the Fortress of El Morro.

Two courses, Performance in Cuban Literature and Culture, and Topics in Latin American and Caribbean History, are based at the Centro, a 20-minute walk or a 10-minute bus ride from the hotel. The course Visual Culture in Havana is held both at the Ludwig Foundation and in the field at sites around the city of Havana. Students stay at the Hotel Vedado, in the lively area of La Rampa, near Havana University.
