"IPSL holds cultural sensitivity as a central and essential element to the service-learning programs. I liked the fact that everyone must complete the academic portion of the program, which provides a framework for learning about the daily course of activities. What the majority of the visitors lack when they tour a country is knowledge of the national culture, history and language. IPSL upheld these three elements as crucial building blocks of the programs."

Host Institutions

Most IPSL programs are offered through an in-country college or university—each four-year, degree-granting, and accredited. A few programs are offered through language institutes. Students are taught by the faculty of the affiliated institution, which issues an official transcript for the student’s academic record.
