"The Study of the
United States" Program
The "Study of U.S." Programs are
six-week academic programs for multinational groups of
university faculty from abroad. Institutes are held at
university campuses throughout the United States and
focus on a particular theme or topic in American studies.

The purpose of
these programs is to strengthen curricula and improve the
quality of teaching about the United States in academic
institutions in Ecuador. Each program includes two
components: an intensive, four-week academic seminar and
