For 22 years, International Studies Abroad (ISA) has provided U.S. and Canadian college students the opportunity to explore the world. ISA offers a wide
variety of study abroad programs at accredited schools and universities in Argentina, Belgium, Chile, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic,
England, France, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, Peru and Spain. In the age of globalization, it is becoming increasingly important to gain an intimate understand-
ing of another culture. As a leader in international education, ISA is dedicated to providing university students with the opportunity to discover and enjoy
a way of life different from their own.

ISA’s mission is to provide high quality education abroad opportunities to American and Canadian college students at an affordable
price. We recognize that we play an important role in the worldwide effort of international educators to increase individuals’ aware-
ness of cultures and societies outside of their own national boundaries. Our programs are designed to maximize our participants’
learning abroad, and we understand that most college students need support and expert guidance before, during and after their time
abroad. ISA is a Global Associate of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, a charter member of the Forum on Education
Abroad and adheres to the professional standards and ethics set forth by these organizations.
ACCredited Foreign universities
ISA works exclusively with accredited institutions abroad. These schools and universities have been recognized nationally
and internationally for their excellence in teaching and research and have a demonstrated commitment to receiving inter-
national students and incorporating them into campus life.
eduCAtionAl enhAnCement ACtivities
Twenty-two years of experience have taught us that emphasizing academics with cultural immersion activities is the ideal
way for students to maximize their education while abroad. By offering program orientations, homestays with local families,
cultural excursions (within and outside of the program location) and language exchanges, students are able to reinforce
the academics learned in the classroom. ISA students are required to maintain full-time student status throughout their
program.
ACAdemiC support teAm And resourCes
ISA provides academic support to students before, during and after their study abroad program. The advisors in the U.S.
can help prospective students find the program that best fits their academic needs and goals. ISA’s website also provides a
wealth of information pertaining to academics, including course and university descriptions.
While abroad, students enjoy the support of ISA on-site resident staff. Nearly all of our resident staff members hold ad-
vanced degrees or have worked either as instructors or support staff at universities. At the majority of our program sites,
ISA provides tutoring services to program participants. Additionally, the resident staff arranges intercambios (conversation
exchanges) between our students and students from the host country, where applicable, to practice language skills in a
casual setting. ISA offices are equipped with computers, internet and in many locations Wi-Fi capability to work on class
assignments, conduct research on the web or for personal use. Students are encouraged to interact with office staff for real-
world language practice.
Upon completion of the program, the ISA staff in the U.S. is ready to provide support to students during the re-entry process.
Students can visit the alumni section of the ISA website for information about credit transfer, filing insurance claims, ad-
ditional transcript requests, information on the alumni Global Ambassadors Program and alumni services.
strong relAtionships with ACAdemiC institutions
Our U.S. staff, including a team of regional representatives, is dedicated to addressing the questions and concerns of advi-
sors and faculty members at U.S. and Canadian universities. Additionally, ISA resident directors work tirelessly to ensure
that we maintain strong relationships with the foreign academic institutions with whom we have partnered. These relation-
ships allow students a smooth transition into life at a foreign university and facilitate the resolution of any academic issues
that may arise.
trAnsFer Credit
At the time of application, ISA asks that all students receive academic approval from an advisor at their home institution.
We advise students of the importance of meeting their universities’ internal requirements for studying abroad, and of
receiving pre-approval for the classes they plan to take while on an ISA program. To simplify this process, our website pro-
vides course information, including contact hours and course descriptions, and our advisors are available to answer more
detailed questions. After the program has concluded, ISA sends an official transcript from the host institution abroad to the
student’s home university. Included is a cover letter that translates the transcript, as necessary, and provides a suggested
grade conversion scale.
personAl sAFety
The health and personal safety of our students is of the utmost importance to ISA. Prior to the start of the program, students
receive site-specific orientation handbooks, which contain safety information pertinent to each program location, as well
as tips for integrating into the local culture. Once on-site, the resident staff conducts an orientation to welcome students to
the host country and to discuss cultural expectations, safety concerns and guidelines for daily living in the specific city and
country where the students will be studying.
mediCAl insurAnCe And student heAlth
Prior to departure, students submit a medical history form to ISA so that our staff can be prepared to accommodate any
health concerns. The ISA resident staff is equipped to help students receive quality medical care in the event of illness or
injury. Comprehensive medical insurance is also included in the program price and covers the student for the official on-
site period of the program. Extensions are available for ISA participants for an additional cost. Detailed information about
medical insurance can be found in the admissions section of the ISA website.
globAl AwAreness
The ISA resident staff is in close contact with the U.S. Embassy in each program country at all times and is ready to respond
to situations that might arise. ISA also closely follows the guidelines of the U.S. Department of State and will support stu-
dents throughout the process of returning to the U.S. in the case of a crisis.
isA on-CAll
While abroad, students can contact their resident staff at any time. The ISA resident staff is available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, to help any student in the event of an emergency. ISA also has a staff member on-call at all times in the U.S.
Students, parents and home university staff who need urgent assistance outside of regular office hours can call the ISA of-
fice in Austin at 1-800-580-8826 to access emergency contact information.

ISA’s Academic Advisory Board was established in the Spring of 2000 and has proven to be an asset to our organization. The board serves as a means to
understand and respond to the needs of the institutions and students with whom we work. The board has been able to provide valuable advice regarding
matters such as academic development, crisis management and security concerns. In addition, the board evaluates ISA’s Dr. Carlos E. Castañeda Memorial
Scholarship, the Michaela Farnum Memorial Scholarship and the ISA Diversity Scholarship and selects the recipients. We have allocated $60,000 for these
scholarships in 2009. The board is of tremendous value to ISA, and we applaud each member for the time and effort that they contribute to ISA’s develop-
ment in the ever-evolving world of international education.

isA online orientAtion
ISA has created a comprehensive Online Orientation to help each of our students ensure that they are prepared to make the most of their time abroad
before they go. The orientation assists students through each stage of preparation, from filling out necessary paperwork, to packing for your trip, to what
you should expect the day they step off the plane in a new country. Having our orientation materials available online will allow students to easily access
important information before beginning their ISA adventure. As a supplement to the text, podcasts will also contain useful tips on safety, health and prepa-
ration for study abroad. Students will receive access when they become enrolled in an ISA program.
isA on-site orientAtion
Upon arrival at each ISA location, our resident staff provides a thorough on-site orientation which includes information about academics, health and safety,
housing, transportation and money. This orientation also includes a brief introduction into local culture and history, suggestions for adjusting to life abroad
and details about what to expect from daily life as a foreign student.
Culture Corner is a city specific section on our website dedi-
cated especially to those little details that make each site
unique. Culture Corner also contains general site informa-
tion, details about onsite cultural activities, transportation
options and examples of how much things will cost in your
host city.
To access the Culture Corner section of a specific site, visit
the ISA website at www.studiesabroad.com and follow the

homestAy
On average, 85% of ISA students live in a homestay. Each homestay is carefully selected by ISA staff and provides a great avenue for practicing the language
of the host country at home and becoming more immersed in the local community. All homestays include room, but the number of students per room,
the number of meals and the method of laundry vary by site. For sites where students share a room, there may be the option of paying an additional fee to
secure an individual room. For sites where students have their own room, there may be the option of paying extra to be the only ISA student in the home.
Lunch and dinner are not provided on ISA excursion days.
