We pride ourselves on providing well-rounded, academically sound and credible programs in non-traditional locations or in unique parts of more traditional places. By choosing a USAC program, you have flexibility in the length and time of your study (short-term summer or January programs from three to ten weeks, to semester, trimester, or year options) and a wide range of courses to choose from, plus small class sizes, a multitude of disciplines taught in English, and language study at any level of proficiency from beginning to advanced and with no language prerequisite. Many of our locations have the option of intensive language study, where you can earn up to two years-worth of credit in one semester. USAC alumni give our programs a 94% recommendation rate.

Study Abroad with USAC
"I learned the culture and language of the French, as well as my own abilities as an independent woman. I learned how much I can rely on myself and how much I love seeing our beautiful world! It was one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life."
bleu.vents University of Nevada - Reno
"I would never choose staying at my home university compared to studying abroad in Prague. The experience was truly amazing. Prague still holds an incredible place in my heart and even a year later when I close my eyes- I'm walking the ancient, winding, cobbled streets of Prague at sunset. Every inch of Prague is soaked in histor..."

Ethel M University of Texas - Dallas
"Very worthwhile"
Jade W University of Nevada - Reno
"Going to Bilbao with USAC was a terrible experience. Both my housing and internship were botched because of the program administration, and I did not get the cultural experience I signed up for. However, the Basque country has a fascinating culture and the landscape is beautiful, even if it is rainy and cold. It's definitely ..."

"I have developed a much deeper appreciation of the small things in life. I thought I had that before I went, but experiencing life outside our norm enables a degree of reflection and change that just can't always happen on our day to day lives. "
A student Boise State University

Jay S University of Florida
"I learned that there are so many more ways of being than just those of North America and I have so enjoyed discovering these cultures. "
A student University of Maine at Orono
"Of course it was worthwhile! Knowing what I know now, if I could do it again I would probably choose a program that would allow me to interact with local students more easily. But despite that, I learned so much about myself, still immersed myself in the culture with my host family and simply by living there for 4 months, and pe..."
A student University of Maryland - College Park
"It was very worthwhile. I loved learning about Scottish culture and traveling to different places."
alli.lardner University of the Pacific
" I've FULLY realized that we are all the same, and cultures are just man-made. If i were born in China I would like eating cow stomach, and if i were born in Spain I would prefer kissing someone on both cheeks than hugging them. We are all the same, and our languages and cultures just bring out and emphasize different parts of w..."
Allison B California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
"Study abroad lets you learn so much in terms of international culture, topics, and ways of life. The history of the many locations is also worthwhile. The amount of things I learned on this trip cannot be put into words. If I tried, I could probably write a novel."
Gunner S Goucher College
"This experience abroad helped me realize how much I enjoy travelling to new places and it makes me want to travel to other places, to see more of the world. What I experienced in New Zealand is definitely worthwhile."

Megan S University of Maine at Orono

Brynn V University of Nevada - Reno
"I loved the location but didn't love USAC. I could have benefitted from less American Students and more local integration, or international which would have forced me to use the language more, but the location was absolutely Amazing. "
