Diversity & Inclusion 💙

Our team is committed to providing exceptional support through identity-focused advising and resources for students, university partners, and staff. We have developed our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee to help serve all students and stakeholders, particularly the needs of underrepresented student populations. Our country-specific diversity pages offer information about the societies and cultural history of our destinations. This information can be used to start your reflection about how your intersecting identities relate to the host community context.

ISA by WorldStrides is devoted to facilitating quality programming to students with varying levels of neurodivergence. Our Health & Safety team is available to answer questions about insurance and medication, as well as provide students with materials on overseas access to support.
We are dedicated to facilitating quality programming to students with varying levels of accessibility. With our wide portfolio of program types and locations we’re confident there is a suitable and accessible program for each student. Accommodations abroad can be complex and take time, so those with accessibility needs should inform ISA of any accommodations requests as early as possible in the advising process. Please contact accessibilityteam@studiesabroad.com with questions or for more information.

Program Highlights

  • The Netherlands is a hidden gem in Europe, with its beautiful 17th century canal homes and modern feats of engineering.
  • The Netherlands offers a lot within its very tiny borders. In one day, you can go to the beach, a worldrenowned art museum, choose dinner from dozens of different cuisines, and finish your day at a world class concert!
  • Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is one of the top research universities in the Netherlands with an AACSB accredited business college.
  • Campus is in the heart of the Amsterdam Business District.
  • While 175 nationalities call Amsterdam home and Dutch is the official language, everyone speaks English (and is happy to do so).
