HOW IT WORKS?
One pathway, two countries: graduate in the United States
STAGE 1 · ECUADORTake the ISP coursework in Ecuador
In your city (Cuenca, Quito or Guayaquil) you take the coursework of CAS's International Studies Program (ISP), with AUP's support. Live at home, improve your English and prepare for transfer. CAS sends your transcript directly to the U.S. university.
STAGE 2 · UNITED STATESTransfer and graduate in the U.S.
You transfer to a U.S. university. With universities that have an Articulation Agreement, transfer is direct; each university evaluates and accepts the credits and awards scholarships and the degree. We support you with admission, scholarships and the F-1 visa.
What your family saves
$19,000less than taking all four years directly in the United States. The degree is awarded by the U.S. university.
WHY THE ISP?
The most strategic pathway to graduate in the United States
Lower total investment: the Ecuador stage costs a fraction. Gradual transition: maturity, English and academic pace before traveling. Direct transfer under each partner university's Articulation Agreement; each university evaluates the credits. The degree is awarded by the U.S. university where you graduate.
