ISA established its multi-country program model in 2002, opening the door to one of the most unique and innovative study abroad experiences available to students. Multi-country programs take students to multiple countries over the course of one semester and are ideal for students who want to maximize their study abroad experience by studying in more than one location. These programs are especially unique and enriching in that they encourage students to draw cultural and historical comparisons from the overall experience after having spent time at each of the program sites.
