There's More to Discover with ISA.Bridging Cultures Program The Bridging Cultures Program (BCP) encompasses the ISA on-site orientation

delivered to you in the first days of your ISA program, with key improvements in

areas related to goal setting, intercultural awareness, diversity and professional

development.

The BCP is designed to help you make the most of your time abroad with tools

that facilitate discovery and learning during your program, making it an important

introduction to a new culture, home and experience. The BCP prepares you for a

successful, positive and rewarding experience that will influence the rest of your life.

ISA Discovery ModelA primary objective of all ISA programs is to facilitate

your learning and development. Host universities

provide quality instruction in the classroom, but

ISA is the main facilitator of learning outside of the

classroom.

H I STO R I C A LI N T E RC U LT U R A L

ISA encourages you to have an appreciation of your host country’s history, architecture and culture

Historical discovery involves education in the rich history of art, architecture, language, music, theatre and dance, and the development within, and influence on, the local and global community.

We facilitate this area of discovery by visiting museums, touring monuments and attending performances.

ISA programs intend for you to be well-informed about the sociopolitical reality of your program location, allowing you to intelligently discuss important contemporary events.

ISA encourages you to articulate how current events impact host country nationals’ views of domestic and U.S. government policies, along with identifying the main domestic media channels and how they align politically and ideologically.

S O C I O P O L I T I C A L

ISA introduces theories of intercultural development and communication and provides students with specific advice to help them function more effectively in their host culture.

We facilitate cultural activities that promote a cross-cultural exchange and allow you to observe and participate in local culture.

Our efforts to promote learning are shaped by an

educational framework we call the ISA Discovery Model. According to this model, student learning and

development is organized into five areas of discovery:

1. Intercultural 2. Historical 3. Sociopolitical 4. Professional 5. Environmental

Throughout the duration of all ISA programs, we

provide you with opportunities to pursue guided

learning in these areas of discovery through

participation in ISA excursions, cultural activities and

community involvement.

E N V I RO N M E N TA L

ISA provides opportunities for you to visit some of your host country’s incredible environmental wonders, as this provides you with an appreciation of, and connection with, the natural ecology of the regions in which you are living.

We have found that by developing an understanding of your local environment, you'll feel more comfortable, safe and healthy during your program.

P RO F E S S I O N A L

ISA empowers you to use you time abroad as a means to explore your professional and career goals.

You'll receive the Professional Development Toolbox as a resource prior to departure, during your time abroad and after returning from your program.

Our mission is to enable you to intelligently leverage your study, internship or service-learning abroad experience when pursuing post-graduate careers or continuing education.

The Professional Development Toolbox is a key component of the Professional

area of the ISA Discovery Model and is available in the online orientation section

of the student portal. The resources available in this toolbox will help you identify

the skills and key competencies that you have acquired through your international,

academic and personal experiences. Our goal is to empower you to leverage your

international experience to differentiate yourself from other graduates. The ability to

articulate the value of your international experience is a skill. The toolbox will help

you communicate transferable skills in a way that shows your potential employer or

post-grad university the concrete benefits you have gained as a direct result of your

experience abroad.

DISCOVER MORE WITH ISA

InterculturalThe Moroccan cultural tapestry is a unique blend of Arab, Amazigh, Jewish and French traditions. While in Meknes, ISA students will have the opportunity to celebrate local holidays and participate in religious fasts and feasts such as Ramadan.

During the holy month of Ramadan, ISA students have the option to fast from fajr (sunrise) prayer to maghrib (sunset) prayer alongside their Moroccan friends and host families. Ramadan seeks to remind Muslims to appreciate all that they have and helps Muslims to understand the plight of the poor. Suhoor (breakfast) is eaten just before sunrise and typically consists of eggs, sweet pastries and harira. Ftoor (dinner) is eaten just after sundown and typically consists of traditional Moroccan dishes such as tagine and couscous. If you are lucky enough to study abroad in Morocco during Ramadan, you will more than likely be invited over for a fantastic, homemade ftoor. Food is an essential part of Moroccan culture, and Moroccans love to share their culture with ISA students!

ISA’s Commitment to Education

HOST INSTITUTIONS AND ACADEMIC SPONSORSISA partners with host institutions that are accredited or recognized by a legitimate accrediting agency, a higher education association, the Holy See (for pontifi-cal schools) or other authoritative bodies, such as a host country’s Ministry of Education. Students who complete an ISA program receive an academic transcript from their host institution or from a university serving as an ISA academic sponsor or school of record for select study centers.

With nearly 70 locations throughout the world, ISA gives students the ability to choose from an extraordinary range of academic settings, campus cultures and extra-curricular resources. Common to all of ISA’s programs, however, is a commitment to academic excellence and to helping ISA students maximize their learning in and out of the classroom.

HOST PARTNERSHIPSOur U.S. staff is dedicated to addressing the questions and concerns of advisors and faculty members at U.S. and Canadian universities sending students on our programs. Additionally, ISA Resident Directors work tirelessly to ensure that we maintain strong relation-ships with the host institutions receiving our students. These relationships allow students to have a smooth transition into life at a university abroad and facilitate the resolution of academic issues that may arise.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT TEAM AND RESOURCES Our U.S. advisors help students find the program that best fits their academic needs and goals. ISA’s website also provides a wealth of information pertaining to academics, including course and university descriptions.

ISA’s mission is to provide high-quality education abroad opportunities to U.S. and Canadian university students at an affordable price. Our programs are designed to maximize our partici-pants’ learning. We understand that most university students need support and expert guidance before, during and after their time abroad. ISA is a Global Associate of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, a charter member of the Forum on Education Abroad and adheres to the professional standards and ethics set forth by these organizations.

Most of our resident staff members hold advanced degrees or have worked either as instructors or university support staff. At all sites, ISA provides tutor-ing services to students enrolled in language courses. Upon completion of the program, the ISA staff in the U.S. is ready to provide support during the re-entry process. Students can visit the alumni section of the ISA website for information about credit transfer, requesting addi-tional transcripts and the Global Ambassador Program.

ISA DISCOVERY MODEL ISA provides students with valuable academic oppor-tunities both inside and outside the classroom to maxi-mize their education abroad. By offering program orien-tations, homestays with local families, cultural activities, excursions and language exchanges, we are able to enhance the learning that takes place in the classroom in the areas of intercultural, historical, sociopolitical, professional and environmental discovery.

ISA INTERNSHIPS & SERVICE-LEARNING Internships are customized to meet the partici-pant’s individual goals for professional development. Participants may be able to receive academic credit through Carroll College. Programs are available in Australia, Chile, China, England, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea and Spain.

Service-learning is designed to meet the needs of the local community while developing skills relevant to the participant’s field of study. Critical reflections and group discussions contribute to personal growth and enhanced cultural competency. Participants may be able to receive academic credit through Carroll College. Programs are available in Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, India, Ireland, Morocco, Peru and South Africa.

Visit studiesabroad.com/experience for more information.

TRANSFER CREDIT At the time of application, ISA asks that all students receive academic approval from an advisor at their home institution. We advise students of the importance of meeting their universities’ internal requirements for studying abroad and receiving pre-approval for the classes they plan to take while on an ISA program. To simplify this approval process, our website provides course information including contact hours and course descriptions, and our advisors are available to answer questions.

After the program has concluded, ISA sends an official transcript from the host institution to the student’s home university, along with a cover letter that trans-lates the course titles, as necessary, and provides a suggested grade conversion scale.

FORUM ON EDUCATION ABROAD RECOGNITION ISA successfully participated in the Forum on Education Abroad Quality Improvement Program (QUIP) for our academic programs in Granada, Spain. ISA is one of only a few institutions that has volunteered for this outside review to receive an impartial, independent assessment of our programs by professionals in the field, overseen by the Forum on Education Abroad.

This group determined that ISA Granada programs meet all the requirements for recognition by the Forum for their adherence to the Standards of Good Practice, meaning that the assessed programs maintain a commitment and dedication both to offering high qual-ity programs in education abroad at a level of excel-lence sought by the larger academic community, and to continuous assessment and improvement.

ISA’s Commitment to Student Health, Safety and Security

STUDENT HEALTHPrior to departure, students submit a medical history form so that ISA staff can be prepared to accommodate any health concerns. The ISA resident staff is trained and equipped to help students receive quality medical care in the event of illness or injury.

ISA provides students with various forms to encourage students to address any concerns they may have with their healthcare providers, family and support system so they may be able to manage any condition while abroad.

CODE OF CONDUCTOur code of conduct establishes clear guidelines designed to empower students to behave in a manner that decreases their risk and enriches their experience. Violations are immediately addressed by resident staff and communicated to the student's home university.

MEDICAL INSURANCEComprehensive medical insurance is included in the program price and covers the student for the official on-site period of the program. Detailed information about medical insurance can be found in the admissions section of the ISA website.

GLOBAL AWARENESSThe ISA resident staff is in close contact with the U.S. Embassy in each program country and is ready to respond to crises. ISA also closely monitors the infor-mation and guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of State, OSAC and on-site experts. We will support students throughout the process of returning to the U.S. if evacuation is warranted.

RISK MANAGEMENTNo activity is risk-free, and study abroad programs may involve unique risks to participants. ISA's department of Health, Safety & Security is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment. ISA Resident

ISA strives to ensure the safety, security and well-being of our students throughout the duration of their programs. While ISA cannot guarantee a risk-free environment, we follow prudent measures to reduce risk and provide the safest environment for study abroad program participants.

Directors provide support in-country throughout the program. Resident Directors and our U.S.-based staff provide information, guidance and advice during the program as well as an immediate response and support during emergencies.

ISA ON-CALLWhile abroad, students can contact a member of their resident staff at any time. The ISA resident staff is avail-able 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help any student in the event of an emergency.

ISA also has staff on-call at all times in the U.S. Students, parents and home university staff who need urgent assistance outside of regular office hours can call the ISA office at (512) 480-8522 to access emergency contact information.

ACCOMMODATING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIESOur site specialists, admissions staff and resident direc-tors work together to advise students on appropriate locations that meet each student’s needs, regardless of what the student’s situation might be. Additionally, our staff works in conjunction with students’ home institutions’ study abroad offices and departments for students with disabilities in an effort to collaborate on pre-departure advising and preparation for abroad opportunities. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to study abroad and that unique circum-stances should not prevent them from pursuing this opportunity.

ISA BRIDGING CULTURES PROGRAMUpon arrival at each ISA location, our Resident Directors provide the Bridging Cultures Program (BCP) which includes an on-site orientation that informs students about academics, health and safety, housing, trans-portation and money. The BCP also includes a brief introduction to local culture and history, suggestions

for adjusting to life abroad and details about what to expect from daily life as a foreign student.

Clear, concrete and emphatic information concerning health and safety is first and foremost on the resident staff’s checklist for orientations and on-site follow-up meetings. Students at any ISA site throughout the world are given a card upon arrival with emergency phone numbers including local hospitals, police, fire, taxi and the cell phone numbers of Resident Directors. During the meetings that occur upon arrival to a program site, students are given extensive information about the kinds of dangers that tourists and foreign students typically face in the host country.

PAY IT FORWARD

ISA Pay It Forward is a grant fund that supports ongoing sustainable development projects in under-resourced communities around the world. 100% of ISA Pay It Forward donations go toward funding sustainable projects identified by our ISA Service-Learning community partners in cities around the world.

ISA Service-Learning participants help their host organization submit project proposals and assist with projects that have been funded while abroad.

When applying for a study abroad program with ISA, you will have the option to direct $5 toward the Pay It Forward program.

ISA PAY IT FORWARD PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

A MOBILE LIBRARY FOR A PUBLIC SCHOOL in Costa Rica

One of the ISA Pay it Forward grants this past year went to Escuela Santiago in Heredia, Costa Rica, for a mobile library. An ISA Service-Learning student, observing that this public primary school had no library, worked with the head social worker of the school to conduct a survey on the number of books that the pupils had at home, which on average ranged from 0-2. Subsequently, the student proposed a mobile library idea that she had seen in Chicago inner city public school programs. Today, Escuela Santiago’s new mobile library goes class to class every week serving grades K-6 and teachers report more students reading!

How to ApplyApplication & Admission ProcessISA accepts students on a rolling basis, so applications should be submitted as soon as possible. Check the application due date on the ISA website for the program of your choice and submit your application accordingly. ISA recommends submitting applications at least one to two months before the application due date. Once you are accepted, you will be required to submit completed paperwork via the student portal and full payment by your program’s final forms and payment due date, as found on the ISA website.

Meet The Minimum Requirements

Please refer to the ISA website for the enrollment requirements for your program of interest.

Know your application deadline and apply prior. Applications for back to back programs are due by the earliest session's due date.

Minimum GPA requirements range from 2.50 to 3.50.

Applicants must be enrolled at a college or high school at the time of application for most programs.

When applicable, students must also meet the minimum language requirement.

Student Visa InformationISA program countries vary greatly in their student visa requirements. While some participants may be required to obtain a student visa, others may be able to stay in the host country for the duration of their program as a tourist. The application process for a student visa also varies by country. Depending on the foreign consulate, applicants may have to apply for the visa in person, via an online application or by mailing in all application materials. ISA will include country-specific student visa information in the student portal (when applicable).

Most countries require a background check to issue a student visa, and any current or unresolved legal matters may result in a visa application being denied. If you have a current or unresolved legal matter or have not completed all sanctions from a legal matter, contact the consulate directly right away to obtain more information.

Please refer to the Embassies and Consulates Section of the ISA website to find consulate and relevant student visa requirements.
