Cuenca, Ecuador -

Fall Semester in the Andes

A unique study abroad program in Ecuador and Peru

4 September- 18 December 2007

The Fall Semester in the Andes is unique in combining an extended inter-cultural and language experience in one city – Cuenca, Ecuador – with travel to one of South America's must-see sites: Machu Picchu. In addition, the wide range of classes allow students from almost any major to participate, while staying on-track for their major.

The primary focus of the course, however, is television journalism. Students have a nearly unprecedented opportunity to learn about, study, and produce internationally-focused content. This experience is invaluable in a world that is moving increasingly towards becoming a global community.

"At the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, national television, international television, is the critical force. What we do and say and show really matters [...] it has an effect on our local communities, on our states, on our country, and on the state of the world."Christiane Amanpour, CNN International Correspondent
