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.

It changed my life

I feel like I came back a changed person. I have so much more confidence in myself after completing this program. It proved to me that I am able to figure things out and survive in a culture different than my own. Everyone was so nice and helpful and it helped me get accustomed to the new culture quickly. I highly recommend this program as I had a lot of fun and feel more independent than I ever have. This was my first time outside the United States and it greatly broadened my understanding of the world

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I tried ceviche. This dish is raw seafood marinated in lime juice with onions, sweet potatoes, and bell pepper. It was really different from all the other food we’re had on the trip but it ended up being really good.
Pros
  • Efficient public transport
  • Spanish language improvement
  • Amazing and helpful staff and professors
Cons
  • The long flights
  • No air conditioning in most of the houses
  • Lots of walking

Montevideo & Buenos Aires Winter Term USAC

I attended USAC in Uruguay as a way to help complete my requirements for my degree in International Language and Culture: Spanish. This program had so much language immersion from living with a host family to having courses in Spanish. I felt that I grew my speaking abilities through the format of the program. The program directors were so helpful in giving recommendations and accommodating what we wanted from the program that I was able to see so much during the month I was there. It was a great experience for Spanish immersion!

Pros
  • Welcoming and supportive teachers and program directors
  • Field trips
Cons
  • Lived far from other students
