BHC | Blue Hill College 10th Year Anniversary

It was 1996, during the political crisis when BHC | Blue Hill College was born. The name was taken from that iconic guayaquilean symbol that is CERRO AZUL, Blue Hill in English.

It was the idea of a group of prestigious business men from Guayaquil led by Pedro Gomez-Centurión and Vicente Muñoz BHC | Blue Hill College started its activities in August 1997 under the guidance of Gustavo Noboa (former President of Ecuador) as its President and Angel Camilo Marquez as Academic Director. The idea was to offer students the opportunity to study in English in Guayaquil, with the possibility of transferring to one of many universities around the world with which BHC had established interesting and advantageous agreements of academic cooperation.

In this fashion, Florida Atlantic University, Excelsior College, Goldey Beacom College, Florida International University, East Tennessee State University, Texas A&M University, Universidad de las Comunicaciones de Santiago de Chile to name a few, are institutions that have been working with us in order to provide Ecuadorian students a great opportunity and educational opportunities, where the presence of our students have become and important factor and a positive impact in each of their campuses.

Our instructors, without whom we wouldn’t have been able to achieve our academic goals, have been people of dedication and care towards the proposal of BHC. Because of their efficiency we have had to let them go at some points of their lives where they left us in order to achieve personal and bigger goals. Teddy Albán went on to England in order to get his Masters Degree at the London School of Economics and then a multinational corporation hired him as part of its European Staff. Bolívar Saltos won a scholarship for a Masters in Canada and stayed there after a very attractive job offer; Antonio Ruales, the CORPEI (the Exports and Imports Corporation) sent him to Lima, Perú as the commercial liason for our Embassy and then appointed him as a consultant in Global Policy and Commerce. Frederick Barker also left to Canada with a scholarship for a Masters Degree and became a citizen over there. That’s the quality of instructors that we have had along this ten years and that same prestige of instructors that we have had is what let us keep selecting quality, dedicated, prepared and caring staff in order to keep our tradition and our persistence on excellence and efficiency.

Our students have been our biggest pride along our history, we have many students that have fulfilled every goal here and abroad, we have entrepreneurs amongst us, we also have students that have followed non-traditional careers, the ones that chose the corporate world in order to develop their professional careers and even the ones that decided to follow the non-profit organizations world.

Our mission remains the same, to be leaders in the preparation of professionals for a globalized world with the ability to interact at the intercultural level.

We keep our compromise of giving back to society professionals devoted to society and the country, professionals of faith in the progress of our nation, professionals that will lead the generation of changes. We will continue to strive to offer our youth a first quality instruction of international orientation and will continue to offer the benefit of our agreements to our students.
