An additional intensive language course is available, but many students who come from Quito are able to opt out due to their semester in Ecuador. There are no required courses, except the pre-session in Quito. Students must earn at least 12 credits for the spring semester in Chile, but no more than 18. In Chile, students must locate and pay for their own housing. Host families will meet students at the airport.
Students arrange own travel from Ecuador to Chile and back to the United States.
VISA Students must have visas for both countries. OISP assists students with the visa application process for Ecuador. Students apply for a Chilean visa while they are in Ecuador. Passports are also required and must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the end of the program.
