The 25-acre campus features modern facilities, including hospitals, dental clinics, and research laboratories. Quito combines UNESCO World Heritage colonial architecture with modern business opportunities as Ecuador's political and economic center, providing access to both the Amazon basin and the Pacific coast.
USFQ holds a Category A ranking from Ecuador's CACES, making it the only fully private university to achieve the highest category. The university maintains over 100 bilateral research partnerships and 114 student exchange programs across 24 countries, with SENESCYT recognition which provides graduates with globally recognized credentials throughout Latin America.

Universidad San Francisco de Quito was Ecuador's first university to participate in two discoveries of worldwide scientific importance: the top quark and the first evidence of asymmetry between matter and antimatter through collaboration on Fermilab's DØ experiment. This research intensity, combined with having Ecuador's highest concentration of PhD faculty, directly benefits Master's students through a cutting-edge curriculum and world-class thesis supervision in business and beyond.
