ECUADOR

Summer Spanish Program AMERICAS

SUMMER

OVERVIEW

For more than 30 years, Augustana and CEDEI in Cuenca Ecuador,
have been offering students the chance to spend their summer fully
immersed in a Spanish-speaking environment as they explore the Andean
region and study language, literature, culture and art.

Choose between the 11-week program, open to students at all Spanish levels, or, for
students at the Advanced (300) level, there is an intensive 5-week option. Both programs include a rich selection of
excursions, events and cultural events and both offer the same enriching family stays as the housing for the
summer. Students in the 11-week program receive the added bonus of a mid-program excursion to the rainforest of
Ecuador’s Oriente region as well as a program-final trip to Peru, to explore Cusco and the lost city of Machu Picchu.

Summer 2019 will be the final summer
prior to the shift from trimesters to
semesters and the switch to a 4-credit
standard course. For the Summer 2019
Ecuador program, this means the program
will retain its selection of 3-credit courses
available at all academic levels.
