WorldStrides offers customizable immersive engagement experiences designed for faculty-led study abroad programs. Rather than a single packaged program, this is a service that helps educators design their own global curriculum by connecting students with real-world learning opportunities abroad. You'll work with WorldStrides' regional specialists to identify your program's learning objectives and then gain access to their extensive network of industry experts and global organizations.

The program offers multiple engagement formats tailored to your academic goals. You might visit local companies and hear from executives, participate in strategy challenges where teams solve real business problems, explore local markets from a consumer perspective, attend panel discussions with industry experts, engage in community service projects, or work on project-based learning where teams tackle challenges presented by international companies over several weeks. Other options include guest lectures on market trends, social impact experiences with non-profits, and faculty-moderated discussions that provide candid insights into international markets.

WorldStrides handles the heavy lifting of program design and logistics. Their team conducts planning assessments to align engagements with your learning outcomes, researches and reaches out to potential host organizations, confirms all details with you and your partners, and provides pre-program orientation through a custom travel app. Once abroad, you'll have bilingual on-site guides to ensure everything runs smoothly. After you return, the team gathers feedback and provides a financial audit of program expenses.

This approach is designed for faculty who want to bring their curriculum to life in a global context without starting from scratch. Whether your focus is business, social impact, market analysis, or industry-specific learning, WorldStrides helps you create meaningful, interactive experiences that show students real-life applications of their studies. The flexibility of this model means programs can span summer, fall, spring, or other terms depending on your institution's needs. You maintain control over the academic vision while accessing WorldStrides' expertise in creating impactful international partnerships.
