Academic Path 2 Years in Ecuador and 2 in the United States: How the 2+2 Model Works

Years 1 and 2: Ecuador

You’ll complete an academic program equivalent to 65 U.S. college credits from your home city (Guayaquil, Cuenca, or Quito), with “General Education” courses certified by California State University, Fresno. You’ll live at home, improve your academic English, and prepare for transfer.

Years 3 and 4: United States

You’ll complete an academic program equivalent to 65 U.S. college credits from your home city (Guayaquil, Cuenca, or Quito), with “General Education” courses certified by California State University, Fresno. You’ll live at home, improve your academic English, and prepare for transfer.

Why it makes sense for many families

• Lower total investment: the first two years cost a fraction.
• A gradual transition: maturity, English and academic pace before travelling.
• The final diploma is issued by the American university.
