Students planning to depart early for Ecuador must be aware that visa procedures will not be completed until shortly before the group departure date. Students who enter Ecuador without a valid student visa are required by the Ecuadorian government to leave the country to change visa status. Back to top Refunds Withdrawal from the application process must be made in writing to your Campus Contact. All students nominated to the program must participate in a pre-departure orientation. The orientation will cover academic, administrative, financial and cultural information necessary for successful participation in the program.
Further orientation is conducted once students arrive in Ecuador.
The OUS staff, along with invited speakers, will lead these sessions on site. Each member institution has Campus Contacts who are knowledgeable about the program and who will work with you during the application process. Internships are offered in various professional areas and geographical locations. Academic credit is granted through your home institution. Internships may begin in the semester following your academic program.
