University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) is a long-established nonprofit that provides more than 50 affordable, immersive and academically-focused study abroad programs across nearly 30 countries. Students from a growing list of 800 universities have traveled around the world to learn and discover rewarding career prospects at a USAC program. Faculty and staff at host sites mentor students through life-changing international experiences to prepare them to become active global citizens through credit-bearing classes, field trips, foreign living arrangements, internships and service-learning opportunities, sports and fun.

USAC’s mission is to provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to succeed in the global society of the twenty-first century. We strive to provide an authentic, quality context in which students may grow into engaged citizens of the world, not only in the classroom but also through field trips, integrated living and academic experiences, sports, internships, and volunteer and service learning opportunities.

As a non-profit, university-based organization, we understand the financial pressures students face to finance their educations. We are committed to maintaining modest fees for our programs and in addition work to provide scholarships and access to other means of financing in order to provide an affordable study abroad opportunity with USAC.

Living and learning in another culture not only provides the competitive edge that today’s employers are looking for, but also offers a life-changing experience. The benefits of study abroad are multifaceted and extend far beyond the classroom—there is no substitute for the experience. Your opportunity to enhance your future prospects and have this life-changing experience is here now!
