Academic Programs International offers study abroad programs that give you the opportunity to experience the world, study in a foreign country, and earn U.S. university credit! An independent study abroad organization, API provides living, travel, educational, and cultural opportunities for U.S. students in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, England, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Qatar, Spain, and the UAE.  

There is no better way to broaden your horizons and expand your awareness than to live, study, and experience another country and culture firsthand. The study abroad experience provides this unique and unsurpassed opportunity for personal growth, individual revelation and maturity, and the possibility to master a new language and develop a sense of confidence and personal accomplishment. These qualities demonstrate to others that you are an individual worth investing in -- someone with an enlarged worldview who is not afraid to grow.

Working with hundreds of colleges and universities from across the country, API offers students the occasion to interact with, and become friends with, other students from across the U.S.

API provides beginning to high-level coursework (including graduate work) for both the language and the non-language student, in English (in some locations) and the language of the host country. Choose from courses in liberal and studio arts, humanities, business, language, history, science and more!

The study abroad programs are available for quarter, semester, summer, and academic year terms, as well as for two-week and month-long terms.

Each study abroad program includes tuition, housing, medical and life insurance (including medical evacuation and repatriation, as well as 24-hour support services for medical issues), local social activities, multiple cultural excursions and events, pre-departure and on-site orientations and support services, on-site staff, mobile phones (in most locations), tutoring, and much more.

API is available to help you meet your personal goals and needs, as well as the academic requirements you have from your home college/university. The experience of a lifetime awaits you, and API can make it happen!
