Winter Term in Ecuador

In 1984, North Park initiated a Spanish language and culture program in Morelia, Mexico. The program moved to Cuenca, Ecuador in 2011, but maintains the same high level of academic rigor and community involvement. Students live with host families and enjoy high quality instruction in small and highly interactive classes. Service projects in the region allow students to connect to the local community, and on select weekends, the cohort of North Park students and a North Park faculty member participate in excursions throughout the country. Students with one and a half years of college Spanish or the equivalent are invited to apply for this eight week program which runs each spring, January through March. Students may apply to remain through the end of the spring term on internship.
