We understand that, and we have built our programs to serve your individual interests. A Focus on You as an Individual Our focus is to provide programs and services with your individual goals in mind so that you can get more out of your experience than if you went through another organization or on your own. Our programs are built around a unique Discovery Model which is delivered by some of the best staff in study abroad, both in North America and overseas, in order to provide you with an individualized experience through discovery in 5 key areas: personal, academic, cultural, social, and professional. We have so many program options & are confident we can find the right program for you! You may wish to study and live abroad on a semester or year program, complete an internship to strengthen your resume, attend a short-term program during one of your academic break periods, complete a research project at an overseas campus, or earn your entire degree abroad.
