PROGRAM PROVIDERS


The Program Providers run the actual programs; they are considered the “specialists” regarding their respective programs or countries and can provide very specific information regarding classes or housing abroad. They help students with pre-departure services, such as providing information about how to obtain a visa for each specific country or how money matters are best handled while there. They provide on-site orientation upon arrival in the country, arrange for housing, field trips and transcripts.

Perhaps most importantly, Program Providers employ Resident Directors and staff members who live and work in the cities program locations. Among many advantages, the Resident Director’s level of local expertise enhances the overseas experience. Resident Directors are readily available to help students with needs that may arise during their time abroad.
