AUP – Advanced University Programs
HOW IT WORKS?

From Ecuador to the United States

A personalized itinerary created by our experts from start to finish. Here's what the entire route looks like, stage by stage.

STEP 1Advising and diagnosis

An advisor reviews your academic stage, English, goals and family situation. From there comes your recommended pathway: Early College, International Studies Program (ISP) or 4 Years.

STEP 2ISP coursework in Ecuador

You take the coursework of CAS's International Studies Program (ISP) in Ecuador, from high school (ECP) or after graduating, with AUP's support. CAS records your grades and sends your transcript directly to the U.S. university.

STEP 3Application & scholarships

With your profile built, you apply to partner universities with a scholarship strategy: GPA, English, extracurriculars and timing. Each university decides on admission and scholarships.

STEP 4F-1 visa and departure prep

Documentation, visa interview prep, and all the logistics: flights, housing and arrival at your university.

STEP 5Studies and graduation in the US

You complete your studies at the U.S. university, which awards your Bachelor's Degree, with OPT available to work legally after graduating.
