Our approach to faculty-led programs and short-term study abroad is in our name: custom. Like a fingerprint, each faculty-led custom program is unique, and our capabilities across 110+ countries are unmatched. By incorporating your curriculum goals, we source one-of-a-kind experiences that better prepare your students for future careers by exposing them to international culture, businesses, and academic engagements. From selecting your destination to identifying interactive engagements that bring your curriculum to life, our thematic approach ensures that your program is finetuned to the learning outcomes and unique needs of you and your students.
Once your program is developed, you’ll work directly with an account manager who will be your champion, working directly with our large team of logistical experts, curriculum specialists, and on-the-ground partners. Our long-time university partners see their account managers as an integral part of their own university teams, ensuring that your program is uniquely yours each and every year.

From 2013 to 2016, Portugal was able to scale its renewable energy usage from 25% to nearly 60% – and continues to set ambitious energy goals. This progressive move away from traditional fuels has opened a whole new economic opportunity. Find out how this small country (approximately the size of Maine) has emerged as a global leader in renewables.
From the lush Azores Islands to the capital city of Lisbon, to the scenic hikes and relaxing beaches, Portugal is near the top of every must-see-destination list. After voting to reject EU austerity measures in 2015, learn how Portugal has taken notes from recent hot spots like Iceland and Thailand to re-energize their economy and boost revenues in industries from service to construction.
Portugal is known for its advantageous port location. Much of the country’s GDP has been historically based on exports and trade. Learn how this industry has evolved throughout the centuries into the shipping hub it is today.
Though Portugal’s economy badly suffered in the economic downturn and bailout that followed, 2017 has been a year of surprising rebounds. Unemployment is down, wages are up, and entrepreneurial Portuguese emigrants are returning to find a growing economy, record-low national deficit, and strategic modernization. Cobblestoned medieval towns boast high-speed internet access and place priority on renewable energy. Through its economic roller-coaster, Portugal maintained a reputation as an inexpensive and idyllic tourist destination. In 2017, the country reached a record 12.7 million foreign visitors, a 12% increase. This culturally rich country is known for its warm-hearted inhabitants, outstanding cuisine, and locally-minded business climate.
