Course Options to Help You Stay on Track While Abroad
At ISA, we believe that everyone should enjoy the intercultural learning and growth that comes with studying abroad. We also know that fulfilling degree requirements or staying on track with sequential courses can be challenging, particularly when faced with limited course options in English at some host universities abroad.
That’s why we partnered with Arizona State University (ASU) Online, ranked the #1 school in the U.S. for innovation by U.S. News & World Report, to create ISA Flex.
FLEX = Flexibility
ISA Flex provides students the flexibility to pursue the life-changing experience of study abroad while ensuring that they can stay on track with the coursework they need to graduate.
By enrolling in an ISA study abroad program, you will have to opportunity to add Flex and take one of ASU Online’s 2,100 courses.
Looking to experience Athens but have an Aerospace Engineering course requirement keeping you grounded? Want to explore Prague in the spring but can’t miss that one Communications course that is never taught in the fall at your home university? Or maybe you just want to live in Lima but need another Data Analytics course to stay on track to graduate.
Academic obstacles exist, but ISA Flex can help minimize the challenges so you can maximize your global learning.
Choose from More Than 2,100 Courses
