About Graduate Custom Programs Program
WorldStrides offers customizable graduate study abroad programs designed to immerse you in real-world learning experiences across diverse fields including healthcare, law, business, education, and conservation. These faculty-led programs are built around your specific academic and career goals, combining classroom-style learning with hands-on engagement through company visits, guest lectures, panel discussions with industry experts, and project-based learning opportunities.
You'll work with WorldStrides' Global Experiences team to tailor a program that fits your discipline and learning objectives. The team draws on years of industry expertise and established networks to connect you with relevant organizations, thought leaders, and practical challenges in your field of study. Whether you're exploring kinesiology in Australia, wildlife conservation in South Africa, education systems in Scandinavia, or medicine and pharmaceuticals in China, each program is designed to show you real-life applications of your graduate studies.
Program formats are flexible and varied. You might participate in boardroom discussions with company executives, attend guest lectures on market trends and challenges, explore local microeconomics through market immersion activities, engage in panel discussions with candid feedback from professionals, meet with social impact organizations, or work in teams on real-world projects presented by international companies. Each engagement is carefully coordinated with host organizations and preceded by student briefings to maximize learning.
Support throughout your experience is comprehensive. WorldStrides provides English-speaking in-country guides, 24/7 emergency support, entry requirement assistance, embedded medical insurance, and a dedicated team of experts managing all logistics. This allows you to focus entirely on your learning and travel with peace of mind. Recent programs have taken Loyola University Maryland students to Thailand to study Buddhism and mindfulness in mental health, Imperial College of London Business School students to Copenhagen to explore sustainable food innovation, and East Carolina University educators to Argentina to examine how government and economy shape public and private school systems.
Whether you're planning a Summer 2026, Fall 2026, or Spring 2027 program, WorldStrides guides you from initial concept through final execution, ensuring every detail supports your academic vision and professional development.
