For U.S. students, studying in Ecuador could be one of the most rewarding and unforgettable experiences of their lives. Pursuing course work in Ecuador allows students to live in a different culture and interact with the Ecuadorian people while progressing toward a degree.
Students can also travel to other countries and work on improving their Spanish language skills.
These opportunities, and more, are available at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, a private liberal arts institution located high in the Andes which offers an interdisciplinary curriculum relevant to a variety of majors and minors. Operated by UNC-Wilmington, this program in Quito, Ecuador offers both spring semester and summer programs at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito. These non-exchange programs are open to Sophomores, juniors, and seniors with a 2.8 GPA or better. The spring semester program generally runs from the beginning of January to the mid-May. The summer program usually runs from late May to late June.
