One Week Program Embedded in a Semester Course
College of St. Catherine
The College of St. Catherine offers a field experience at HECUA’s Ecuador site co-taught by their faculty and HECUA staff. The course enables students to fulfill a core requirement looking at women and work with an international experience embedded in a semester course. Non-traditional students gain a short-term study abroad option that fits with their needs. The college has contracted with HECUA three times using this model and has plans for additional programs.
