Custom Programs
Bring Your Academic Vision to Europe
Imagine teaching your course where your subject is being lived, debated, and practiced every day.
Arclight partners with faculty and universities to transform academic ideas into custom international education abroad programs. Whether your focus is diplomacy, public policy, environmental studies, international law, security, governance, or another globally focused discipline, we help bring your teaching, research, and academic vision into the field.
Our role is simple: your faculty lead the academic experience. Arclight helps make it possible.
A Partnership Built Around Faculty
Every faculty-directed program begins with your academic goals.
You bring the curriculum, learning outcomes, disciplinary expertise, and teaching vision. Arclight brings our professional network, institutional access, and logistics expertise. Together, we develop an international experience that extends your objectives beyond the classroom through meaningful institutional engagement, practitioner dialogue, and carefully planned field experiences.
Rather than adapting your course to fit an existing itinerary, we build the student experience around the educational outcomes that matter most to you and your students.

Bringing Arclight to Your Institution
Arclight works with study abroad offices and academic leadership to establish partnerships that fit existing institutional processes.
During our initial conversations, we can discuss affiliation agreements, academic credit, school-of-record arrangements, advising, student support, implementation timelines, and the practical considerations involved in making Arclight programs available to your students.
