WorldStrides offers more than 200 study abroad programs across 50+ cities in 25+ countries, giving you flexibility to design an educational experience that fits your academic goals, schedule, and budget. Whether you're spending a summer, semester, or full year abroad, you can choose from multiple program formats: traditional study abroad where you earn credits through coursework, internships that provide real-world career experience, community engagement opportunities through local non-profit service, or research experiences in lab and field settings. Many programs allow you to combine formats—study while interning, study while volunteering, or study while conducting research—so you can create a truly immersive, multifaceted experience.

With 35+ years of expertise, WorldStrides has built a global infrastructure to support your success. Their team includes 100+ international staff members across 6 continents who provide local guidance, emergency support, and student mentorship. They offer programs in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific, partnering with over 100 international universities. Whether you're an undergraduate seeking your first international experience, a graduate student pursuing advanced research, or someone looking to earn your full degree abroad (with options in Australia and New Zealand), WorldStrides matches your profile to the right destination and academic structure.

The program experience goes beyond classroom learning. Students describe transformative moments: improving language skills through immersive service learning in host communities, forming lasting connections that turn destinations into second homes, and gaining hands-on professional skills through international internships. You'll benefit from structured orientation experiences, peer connections with other program participants, and comprehensive pre-departure support including packing tips, flight coordination, and visa assistance. Housing and logistical details are managed so you can focus on academics, career development, and cultural engagement.

WorldStrides recognizes that every student's timeline and needs differ. They've extended application deadlines for select Summer and Fall 2026 programs, and they offer Spring 2027 options for those planning ahead. Their one-on-one advisor team helps you navigate program selection, course matching, and personalized guidance. The three-step process—find your program, complete the application, then get support through departure—is designed to make studying abroad accessible and stress-free. With a proven track record and extensive global network, WorldStrides transforms study abroad from a dream into a concrete, achievable milestone in your education.
