Exchange
Programs

The exchange agreements signed by Universidad del Pacífico allow its exchange students to access an important academic offer abroad and provide, as part of their training, the opportunity to get to know a different culture, new methodologies and education systems. These agreements also allow exchange students to improve their command of a foreign language. The program lasts one academic semester. Universidad del Pacífico recognizes the courses completed at the exchange university as elective courses.
