About UAC
University of Aconcagua (UAC) — private non-profit university. It is located in San Felipe, Chile. The higher education institution was founded not so long ago — in 1978 — which is why it is considered one of the youngest in the country.
UAC conducts various scientific activities and is inviting students to join the research.
The academic calendar at UAC is divided into two semesters, as in many other universities in Chile. For convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. One year of studying at UAC will cost local citizens a minimum of 3 USD. For foreigners, the tuition fee is different — from 5,000 USD per year. The cost of education and the availability of scholarships can be checked on the official website.
When choosing an educational institution, it is important to be aware of additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.
