Parents Information
Supporting your daughter or son in this study abroad experience is extremely valuable for their education. Living and learning in another country can be a key factor for their professional life. However, it is not easy adapting to another culture and educational setting, Studying abroad is a complex process that requires a high level of responsibility.
ICDS currently offers 2 semester program options and 2 summer programs. ICDS’ study abroad programs allow students to earn their school´s credits and grades, fulfill requirements, and retain their financial aid while studying abroad. In addition, for an extraordinary "hands-on" experience, ICDS offers students various international service learning options.
Parents can be assured that our programs are acknowledged for their academic quality and the quality of our student services as well. All courses that students take abroad are reviewed by academic departments at your daughter´s or son’s school before they can be taken for credit. Also, ICDS´ faculty members are both academics and leading practitioners in their fields. They participate in research and education simultaneously and their first-hand experiences represent tremendous resources in the human rights, international business and sustainable development fields. We also give special significance to the Information provided from student evaluations in terms of improving future programs; ensuring this way, a serious academic experience.
