Arizona State University
University Information
In the Summer and Winter Sessions Arizona State University offers students opportunities to live and learn in cultures and countries throughout the world while earning direct course credit. Imagine listening to the stories of a Quichuan Shaman in Ecuador or studying a work of art up close and in person in Italy. You can expand and build upon your current course of study, fulfill electives or simply take that class on French culture you’ve always wanted to take.
The goal of Arizona State University’s study abroad programs is to give students new learning opportunities. Each program focuses on a certain academic discipline. Students can take courses in photography, architecture, language & culture, biology, art history and several other academic areas. While education is a key part of the study abroad experience, the culture of the country is an important factor. Each program incorporates coursework with excursions and field trips to give students the opportunity to explore and learn about their host country. Study Abroad is for everyone!
The importance of understanding the beauty of cultural differences will help participants develop a sense of perspective on their role in an ever-emerging global society. Studying abroad can teach you about yourself as well as the world around you.
Make plans to study abroad and get ready for the education of a lifetime!

"I improved my Spanish and made wonderful friends. Amazing culture, people, food, and art! Definitely worth the money and time. "
Amanda M Arizona State University
"I learned so much about myself and it really helped me grow as a person to become more independent and cultured"
Kiley S Arizona State University
"It was a worthwhile experience for sure. I learned how to use time management well and how to live in a big city. I would have rather done an exchange program with an Australian university."
Steven B Arizona State University
"I learned a lot about travel and how to get around in a foreign place. It enhanced my desire to see more of the world. I love culture. "
Lauren M Arizona State University
"Internship was extremely helpful especially since I am a senior."
Kelly M Arizona State University
"My Spanish skills grew a lot- I can hold a conversation much more easily than before I went! It was a personal challenge for me to be away from home for 6 weeks, but I am stronger because of it. I really appreciated the field trips that were part of the program as I got to see how social services work in another country and was ..."

"Everything. "
A student Arizona State University
"I learned a lot about myself that has positively impacted my life. Being in unfamiliar situations really shows a lot about yourself and how you handle situations. It was really worthwhile to have the experience of being a foreigner living in a country and learning all that comes with that. I have always wanted to teach English a..."
Bri B Arizona State University
"Yes it was worthwhile. It was the best time of my life at the time, and my first time traveling outside the US and Mexico. It was expensive- close to 5 grand for a month, everything considered (program, airfare, spending money). But, ISA is good for a first time study abroad person because they cater everything to you really we..."
Brit Ta K Arizona State University
"Created an addiction for traveling. 6 months later I graduated and went on a 10 week backpacking trip to 8 countries in Southeast Asia. I was so comfortable traveling out of a backpack after my 4 months in Europe. Now that I work full time, I went on the longest vacation possible, 2 weeks to Peru a few months ago. I am determine..."
Grace R Arizona State University

cyndy h Arizona State University
"Friends and experiences that last a lifetime! "
koniszko Arizona State University
"I gained a lot of confidence. I can be independent, travel, make friends in other parts of the world and live somewhere completely unfamiliar. "
Kaitlyn P Arizona State University
"I go out with all of Americans and meet new friends everyday. I feel very comfortable in London. My friends were asking for gifts, but I couldn't find anything that is special. Finally, I sent them poster cards because I think what I can buy in England I can find it in China. "
Jessica F Arizona State University
"I learned way more than I had expected. It was more than worthwhile. You learn from the CAPA people, the other students in the program, tons of international students who share drastically different stories, the internship site, and the best friends you make. "
Aydali Campa Arizona State University
"I think I know more about Irish history than American history now, which is somewhat unfortunate. However, that speaks volumes about how engrossing Irish history is and how accessible most historic sites are."
Samantha G Arizona State University
"Yes - helped my Spanish "
A student Arizona State University
"Studying abroad for a semester was an amazing experience and changed me forever. Living in another country taught me independence, as well as made me appreciate everything I have. I also learned so much about different cultures and societies. It was an eye opening experience and would do it all over again. "
ulivieri Arizona State University
"I learned to be more independent, it was definitely worth it. "
Devynn Glanz Arizona State University
"I think I would choose another program if I were to study abroad again because ISA was often very unprepared and hypocritical. They would tell us to be prompt for trips and that if were not there they would leave without us, but half the time we would all be there and waiting for the directors to show up. Furthermore, it was ver..."
Stephanie P Arizona State University
"Yes"
Heather F Arizona State University
"It was worthwhile for the traveling benefits and the host family I had made it worth it. Academically, it was not worth it and I feel as if my grades suffered because of the lack on support/instructions/guidelines"
Rebecca S Arizona State University
"The experience was worth while, even though It was hard moving to a country that I did not know anyone. I was able to backpack the east coast, made new friends and saw incredible places I would have never gone to. It was really eye opening, especially living on a student's budget. I would recommend going to Australia to a lot of..."
