Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
ISEP Exchange
ISEP Exchanges are based on the concept of reciprocal exchange and are open to students at member institutions only. Each outbound participant pays the cost of an academic term (tuition, housing, and meals) at home while, for every student sent abroad, the institution receives one in return. ISEP facilitates exchanges between U.S. and international members as well as exchanges among international institutions. ISEP Exchanges allow students from the USA and 53 other countries to exchange places at member universities for a semester or a year.
ISEP Direct
ISEP Direct is a fee-paid study abroad option that provides access to programs at 60 ISEP member institutions in more than 35 countries.
ISEP Summer
ISEP Summer programs outside of the USA are good for students who wish to improve their language skills or learn about a special academic subject in another country for a shorter period of time. Some summer programs are offered as ISEP Exchange and others are ISEP Direct. Not all ISEP Members offer summer programs, and the participating universities vary from year to year.
ISEP Global Engagement Program
ISEP Global Engagement Programs provide students the opportunity to volunteer in the local community as part of their time abroad in Ghana.
ISEP Internships
ISEP offers full-time and part-time virtual and in-person internships in partnership with organizations specializing in these customized internship opportunities.
ISEP Virtual Service Learning
ISEP's virtual service learning program provides participants the opportunity to make a difference in local communities through non-profit organizations in Barcelona, Spain.
