Global Learning Program

The Global Learning Program is for international students who want to learn about America’s culture, people and history through an immersive experience in the United States.

Students will live with host families and attend classes at local schools. They can also participate in community service events or school field trips if their placement allows it. All GSP participants must be 18 or older by the time they arrive in the U.S., so imagine how much fun it would be!

We hope that you find the information you need on this website. If not, feel free to contact us!

We are committed to helping our international students, scholars and employees with any questions or concerns they may have. We look forward to working with you to make your experience at Indiana University rewarding both professionally and personally.
