Each ambassador is an excellent resource for you to learn more about RIDE's programs and how to get the most out of your experience abroad.

Curious about planning a trip?

Discover what goes into our student trips & treks and how our team can design the perfect educational program for your college, university, or student group.

Learn how it works

We create study abroad programs for colleges and universities in the United States and Europe. Using our 10-Step Process, you can design a custom student program completely tailored to your interests. Our trips can be designed for highschool, undergraduate and graduate students of any discipline. For students to receive academic credit on RIDE programs, we ask that your institution either sends a faculty representative to co-teach the program and/or hire a RIDE instructor as an adjunct for the duration of the program. Our team works with your university or college to craft a syllabus and academic content deserving of credit. Participating students will pay a comprehensive program fee that covers RIDE’s support as well as ALL in-country transport, 3 meals per day, housing, local instructors, and excursions.

All we need from you:

  • Type of program (highschool/undergraduate/graduate, credit-bearing/non-credit-bearing)

  • Academic focus of the course(s)

  • Desired dates & trip length

  • Minimum number of students
