The window between completing an application to study abroad and physically arriving in another country can feel wonderful and exhilarating, but also stressful — especially for first-time international travelers. That said, know that all USAC students are in good hands. Our nonprofit mission is to provide affordable study abroad options for any student who wishes to go abroad, and the student’s health and safety are a top concern.

"We felt that the entire USAC process and program was great, they answered any questions we had both before and during the semester, and our son Daniel spoke very highly of the Prague staff, Jan and Dasa. Personally, I felt that USAC delivered on all that it promised and that is a rare quality in a study abroad program."

"What a wonderful experience this was for my daughter. USAC gave her the opportunity to earn college credits, earn money teaching English to Spanish students and learn about the world. When she came home she seemed more confident and mature. You have a wonderful program and I'm glad she had this opportunity."
