Our work starta in our Chicago headquarters and spreads across more than 130 study abroad programs in more than 30+ locations worldwide. With this network, we develop authentic global education and life-affirming cultural experiences. We believe that studying abroad should be a part of every student's academic life, and we aim to not only provide study abroad opportunities, but to consistently maintain a friendly, fun, and safe academic and cultural environment.
We believe so firmly in the power of our academically superior programs, that we actively recruit students from diverse populations and pledges more than $5 million in scholarships year after year. We are proud that our students are as diverse and exciting as the countries we study.

"I grew up so much during my time abroad. I learned how to manage my money, live on my own, use public transportation efficiently, and overall take care of myself. More than that, I grew up emotionally. I discovered what and who in my life is the most important, and what things matter more than others. By the end of the trip, I f..."

A student Fordham University
"I gained more than I can put here. This was my first time away from home. Away from everything that was familiar to me. It was really hard for me to adjust at first, but now I know that I have grown a lot as a person because of this experience. It was most worthwhile. Even if my Japanese didn't improve at all I have no regr..."
