International Studies Abroad (ISA) designs and coordinates study abroad programs, internships, and service-learning opportunities for U.S. and Canadian students. These experiences aim to deepen cultural understanding, complement academic study, and support personal and professional development through experiences abroad. ISA operates as part of WorldStrides, a global provider of educational travel and experiential learning programs. Based in Austin, Texas, ISA has been operating since 1987 and functions as a mid-sized organization with hundreds of staff supporting its offerings. Its programs target high school and college students seeking opportunities that broaden their horizons beyond the classroom. In May 2024, ISA announced the launch of the D.C.
