At ISA we offer a variety of study abroad programs in 20 countries around the globe. In 1998, ISA developed the Custom Program division, to serve a growing need and interest in major-specific international education opportunities. The Custom Program division has collaborated with more than 50 U.S. universities to successfully develop and administer over 200 faculty-led programs. With its diversity of program sites and the dedication of its experienced on-site resident directors, ISA's Custom Programs administers faculty-led programs in a wide array of fields. Our staff will work with you to design a program that complements academic objectives, while facilitating a culturally engaging experience for students. We handle all of the pre-departure and on-site arrangements, enabling educators to focus on teaching.
