About Advisor Resources Program
This page is an advisor resource hub from WorldStrides, a study abroad provider offering programs for higher education students. Rather than a single program, this is a central advising portal designed to help academic advisors guide students through the entire study abroad process—from initial program selection through application, funding, and credit transfer. WorldStrides operates and partners on numerous semester, summer, and year-long programs across multiple continents, hosting students at accredited universities or through WorldStrides-operated courses with School of Record partners. As an advisor using these resources, you'll gain access to detailed information on host institutions, academic pathways, accreditation standards, funding options, and credit transfer policies. The page highlights that most host institutions are accredited by their country's ministry of education or U.S. regional accrediting agencies, with many holding field-specific accreditations like AACSB. You can use WorldStrides' program finder to search by academic term (Summer, Fall, Spring, J-Term, or full Academic Year), location, program type, and subject area. The platform emphasizes seamless credit transfers and the ability to customize programs to align with your institution's requirements. Financial aid, scholarships, and grant opportunities are available, though costs vary by student and program—specific pricing appears on individual program pages. Extended application deadlines for select 2026 programs and Spring 2027 options are currently available. If your institution is affiliated or considering partnership with WorldStrides, the Campus Partnerships team can discuss strategic program design and campus visits.
