Diversity & Inclusion

There are LGBTQIA+ friends, colleagues, and allies throughout the world. However, cultural understanding of gender identity and sexuality does vary from country to country. USAC has compiled a lot of resources to help you through that learning process.
USAC is dedicated to working closely with students with disabilities to ensure the best study abroad experience possible. You may request reasonable accommodations after your initial application is complete. We routinely receive requests for scheduling, material, and environmental accommodations for the classroom setting, which may include assistive technology, scribes and readers, printed material, and interpretation.

Impact

Environmentally-conscious students choose USAC because many of our programs are held in some of the most sustainable countries in the world. There are options to take coursework in sustainability and the environment, as well as field trips and studies where students can leave a lasting impact on their host country.

Scotland Study Abroad

Studying abroad in Scotland was a wonderful experience! While it took me a while to adjust to the academic environment, since it was quite different from the one I was used to in the U.S., I thoroughly enjoyed the classes I took and enjoyed learning about a new range of topics I necessarily would not have had the opportunity to at my home university. But, I loved exploring all over Scotland, from the hikes and zip lining trips I took in the Highlands, to the trips to the major cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow, where I tried new foods and drinks, went to many museums and art galleries, and overall got to see what these cities had to offer. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Best decision I ever made

Stirling, Scotland changed my life for the better in countless ways. Before I left the US, I was burnt out and exhausted. Going to Scotland and meeting people from all around the world reinvigorated me and made me realize that I was a lot more capable than I had previously thought myself to be. If you have the opportunity to go abroad, DO IT! It’s by far the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

Studying abroad has given me the travel “bug” and I can’t imagine how different my life would have been even if I hadn’t taken the leap to go to Scotland. I would’ve had a lot less courage and hope than I do know if I hadn’t gone out on a limb. It’s cliche, but studying abroad made me realize that more things are possible in this world than we think.

Pros
  • Beautiful nature
  • Cheap prices for food
  • Nice locals
