You can earn credits as well as learn by immersing yourself in the Ecuadorian culture and the Spanish language. For more information, see Dr. Michael J. Horswell (Horswell@fau.edu). (It is recommended that students interested in doing an internship in Ecuador consider doing the Andean Cultural Studies program in Summer A to learn about the country’s history and culture, and then do the internship in Summer B and/or the Fall semester.
