About Custom Study Abroad Programs by Degree Level Program
WorldStrides offers customized short-term study abroad programs designed specifically for higher education institutions across multiple academic levels. This is not a pre-packaged program, but rather a collaborative service where WorldStrides partners with universities to create bespoke international experiences that bring curricula to life and inspire global citizenship. The page highlights four main program tracks: Undergraduate Arts and Sciences, Undergraduate Business, MBA/PMBA/EMBA, and Graduate Programs across specialized fields like law and healthcare.
As a prospective student, you would participate in faculty-led experiences tailored to your institution's specific learning objectives. Real-world examples showcase the depth of engagement available: business students have engaged with Nespresso Maroc to discuss coffee sourcing, production challenges, and ethical partnerships with local farmers; other cohorts have compared sustainability approaches across Nordic countries or studied youth development and corporate social responsibility in Soweto. These aren't classroom simulations—they're direct interactions with actual organizations, industry leaders, and communities.
Programs are highly flexible in timing, offered any time of year including summer, fall, spring, and January terms. WorldStrides handles the complex logistics of international study abroad: securing academic partnerships, arranging site visits and company engagements, organizing housing and cultural activities, and managing visa and travel coordination. The organization has established relationships with multiple university partners including Emory University's Goizueta Business School, University of Denver's Daniels College of Business, and Imperial College of London Business School.
Whether you're an undergraduate exploring global perspectives through arts and sciences, a business student studying international markets and ethics, or a graduate student in a specialized field, WorldStrides creates experiential learning that contextualizes your studies in real-world settings. Extended application deadlines for Summer and Fall 2026 programs are currently available, with Spring 2027 options also being planned. The program emphasizes action-based learning, cultural immersion, and the development of skills and perspectives essential for global careers.
