Your partners in Higher Education
We strive to offer programs that meet the needs of you and your students, from providing opportunities to gain work experience abroad to crafting a custom itinerary for your class to travel as a group. At WorldStrides, you can explore:
Custom Programs
Our approach to faculty-led programs and short-term study abroad is in our name: custom. Our built-from-scratch international experiences are fine-tuned to the learning outcomes and unique needs of you and your students.
Study Abroad Programs
Students can choose from a range of top universities in locations across Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific with on-site staff in every location. Our programs are available in summer, semester, quarter, J-term and academic year sessions, meaning there is something for everyone.
Experiential Programs
Whether it’s interning at a top tech company in Seoul or serving a local community in Peru, our programs provide the hands-on experience students need to prepare for their future and have life-changing moments.
Make it your own with Custom Programs
Wherever your imagination takes you, we’ll get you there.
Like a fingerprint, each faculty-led custom program is unique, and our capabilities across 120+ countries are unmatched. By incorporating your curriculum goals, we source one-of-akind opportunities that better prepare your students for future careers by exposing them to international culture, businesses, and academic engagements.
“Many of the things we learned could not have been effectively taught in a classroom. Being in Peru was not only the best time of my life, but also made me think in an entirely different way.”
We aim to elevate learning outcomes for every program by bringing your core curriculum to life.
Our global reach and relationships empower us to deliver superior academic-focused programming for a truly global perspective.
Each program is backed by unparalleled risk management and logistical support to deliver true peace of mind.
With hands-on learning, students achieve a deeper understanding of the world around them needed to thrive in an interconnected society.
