Courses & UW-Eau Claire Equivalencies

PUCP Courses
Under this program, you will become non-degree students at PUCP and enroll in undergraduate courses work taught in Spanish with other PUCP students.  You are allowed to take courses across academic departments provided you meet the pre-requisites. PUCP does close some courses to exchange students due to high demand from degree-seeking students.  Courses especially from Liberal Art – Humanities, Social Sciences and Communication Sciences and Arts may be restricted. Per the PUCP website, course schedules are published a month prior to the first day of class. Students will need to be flexible regarding course selection.  A full list of majors can be found on the PUCP website. 

The PUCP also gives all international students who want to broaden their knowledge about our country the opportunity to get the Peruvian Studies Certificate. This certificate will be granted to the students who have taken specialized courses in Peruvian studies from one of the branches of human and social sciences, having passed all of them with at least a grade of 13 (thirteen). Students need to accumulate 12 credits in courses of this type whether they stay for one semester or one year. This certificate does not represent any additional cost for the student.

Although PUCP does have its own Language Institute for Spanish as a second language outside of campus, Intensive Spanish study is not included in the exchange benefits. Students must be prepared to enroll in university level courses taught in Spanish or pay PUCP directly for Spanish language support classes if offered. Spanish language support courses/levels are offered based on student demand. These Spanish language courses do not appear on the PUCP transcript and do not have a credit value. Fall students who are concerned about their Spanish proficiency are encouraged to enroll in the summer Field School, intensive Spanish track.
