Our programs typically range from one to eight weeks in duration and are tailor-made to meet the academic goals and expectations of our partners.

Past academic themes and topics include, but are not limited to:

The academic contents of a program can be offered fully by USFQ professors if desired or partly, through co-teaching options, Spanish language classes, and/or lectures on desired topics. USFQ can provide the academic credit for the course by providing transcripts if desired as well.
