About Academic Programs International (API)
Year Founded: 1997
Learning Transformed. Life Transforming.
API was founded in 1997 by four women who wanted to create a different, meaningful study abroad experience that not only placed emphasis on outstanding academics, but also immersive cultural experiences.
API offers college study abroad programs year-round in 18 countries, in 40 cities across Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Programs can be as long as a full academic year or as short as two weeks. With a wide variety of courses offered in almost every major discipline and in various languages of instruction, it is easy for students to find a program that suits their academic interests. While courses are available in English in many locations, if foreign language acquisition is the primary goal, API offers high quality language and culture programs for all levels of language learners.
API also offers intern, teach, volunteer, and work opportunities all around the world through our Cultural Embrace by API division. High school and gap year students may study or volunteer abroad through Aspire by API.
In addition to the strength of our academic and experiential programs, API has twice been recognized by GoAbroad.com for excellence in study abroad innovation (2011 Innovation in Social Media Award; 2013 Innovative Technology Award). API has also been recognized by the Austin American-Statesman for its social media and outreach efforts (2012).
