Cultural Experiences Abroad (CEA) was founded in 1996 to create and facilitate opportunities for personal growth and global understanding through quality international education and cultural experiences. They are one of several leaders in the industry with program offerings at 35 universities in 11 countries including Argentina, Australia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, England, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Mexico and Spain. The CEA difference focuses on four aspects: academic quality, customer service, cultural immersion and your well-being.
International Studies Abroad (ISA) has been around for close to twenty years sponsoring academic programs to Spain, Italy, France, England, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. A great quality about ISA is that they also provide study abroad programs for high school students. The high school programs are provided through their sister company, Learning Programs International (LPI). At ISA they ensure that the high school programs are academically challenging and culturally rewarding at the host universities abroad. Students choosing to participant in an ISA program will have the support of qualified, full-time resident directors who are committed to their overall academic & cultural experience.
Academic Programs International (API) Programs are available for quarter, semester, summer, and academic year terms, as well as for two-week and month-long terms in countries like Costa Rica, Hungary, Poland, Mexico and the United Kingdom to name a few.

API programs can provide beginning to high-level coursework (including graduate work) for both the language and the non-language student.
