Your Path to
Global Education
Earn college credit while exploring the world—whether you’re an international student seeking a U.S. degree or a domestic student embarking on an international adventure.
Don't Let Obstacles Sidetrack Your Future
For international students, the dream of earning a U.S. degree can feel out of reach due to financial and logistical barriers. Meanwhile, domestic students often feel disconnected from the world, missing opportunities for life-changing travel and outreach experiences. But what if there was a way to break down these barriers and explore the world while earning your degree?

We provide pathways for international students to study at U.S. colleges and universities, while also creating opportunities for domestic students to study, volunteer, and engage in missions abroad—earning college credit along the way.
