PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS 
  • Take in the beauty of Ecuador, known for its rich biodiversity and mesmerizing landscapes composed of volcanoes, beaches, rainforests, and mountains. 
  • This program offers the best of both worlds: quality academic content and unforgettable travel and intercultural experiences throughout the Andean mountains, cities, and cultural heritage sites of Ecuador.  
  • Contribute to the local community through hands-on internship and service-learning opportunities to complement experiential coursework. 

LIFE ABROAD  
Experience the laid-back and historic culture of Cuenca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with stunning cathedrals, rotundas, and luscious green parks.  Visit local indigenous villages, sandy beaches, and snow-capped mountain ranges, and some of South America’s must-see sites: Machu Picchu, the Galápagos Islands, and the Amazon Rainforest! 

INTERNSHIP & SERVICE-LEARNING 
During the second half of the term, gain hands-on experience with local communities through service-learning or internship opportunities that complement coursework.  Enhance professional skills through internship placements at a local business or community-based organization for 30 hours per week. Alternatively, connect with locals through service-learning opportunities by doing 40 hours of community service per week. Take an in-depth look at prominent societal issues through a new cultural lens by taking a problem-based learning approach to better understand the impact of international service-learning.  

What We Love About Studying in the Andes 
This program offers ample opportunities to connect with the local community through hands-on service-learning and internships. Plus, experiential learning goes way beyond the classroom with organized visits throughout Ecuador and Latin America!
