WorldStrides is pleased to announce a new name for our university global immersion offerings. We are excited to unite the programs formerly offered by Accent Travel Group and TravelMBA under one cohesive brand: WorldStrides Capstone programs. Although the name is changing, our team and our commitment to providing superior global education remain the same.

In 2008, Accent Travel Group became part of the WorldStrides family, joined in 2009 by TravelMBA to form the University Division of WorldStrides. Partnering with WorldStrides, the nation’s oldest and most trusted student travel organization, allowed our university clients to take advantage of the organization’s substantial investments in technology, safety, and program management systems. As a part of WorldStrides, we have further solidified our status as the industry leader for university-level international immersion experiences through the introduction of 24/7 medical access through the George Washington University Department of Emergency Medicine and recognition as the first organization of our kind to achieve accreditation through AdvancED.

We are thankful to our many clients who participated in our months of research. We are confident that, with your help, we’ve found a name that better identifies the wide variety of universities we serve and better reflects the WorldStrides mission of enriching students’ lives through experiential travel.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Account Manager at 1-800-422-2368 or email university@worldstrides.org.
