As most faculty and study abroad administrators in the US know, study abroad is becoming a vital part of academic programs in American education. An overseas experience can give students an invaluable edge in this age of increasing globalization. Students learning in a different country develop a deeper commitment to education by immersing themselves in a motivating academic environment. They gain a deeper understanding of the world through extensive exploration of another culture.

Travel by Morley is an independent study abroad program provider with many years of experience coordinating high-quality overseas study programs. Building upon our extensive experience in international education, we have become one of the most innovative and well-respected organizations in our field.

We work with schools to develop unique overseas study experiences in Europe and South America, specializing in Ireland and the United Kingdom . Our Washington DC headquarters works in unison with centers overseas to provide comprehensive support for your program both before departure and throughout the program overseas.

Whether your institution would like to create a new study abroad program or enhance an existing one, Travel by Morley will tailor its services to your school's specific academic objectives, sharing with you our expertise in the languages and cultures of our host countries as well as our vision of international learning.

The process of developing a program with us starts with a Request for Proposal sent to us by an interested school. A Request for Proposal will include key elements of the program such as location, program dates, number of students and faculty, and academic focus. Travel by Morley works closely with each U.S. institution to assist in designing a unique program that fits their needs

Affordable Programs

Working with each school on an individual level means we are also able to help you develop an affordable study abroad program. We help you find the most cost-effective combination of services to meet your school's needs. We can work with you to adjust the lengths of programs, calculate the cost per student, limit or expand planned extracurricular activities, and rearrange faculty hires and particular courses offered, until together we create a rich and exciting program that is also within the students' budget.

Payment Options

Schools have the option of making payment to TRAVEL BY MORLEY, in U.S. Dollars, for all study abroad services. Seamless Communication and Support

We help schools coordinate any or all aspects of the overseas experience: select courses, hire on-site faculty, produce school-branded brochures and pre-departure materials, plan cultural events and excursions, and assist with group orientations prior to departure and upon arrival.

Process

Communication and support also mean being there to help should difficulties arise. Our faculty and staff members are individuals not only highly qualified in their fields, but also extremely sensitive to and experienced in the complexities of introducing a foreign culture to a U.S. audience. We are aware of the challenges that can stem from study abroad, and we offer ongoing support to faculty and students on cultural issues and logistical problems that may arise during their stay.

Depending on your institution's needs, TRAVEL BY MORLEY is able to design and coordinate unique programs in which your institution retains its identity and control of its own program. The majority of our programs correspond to one of three classic program models described below. These models are all feasible during various timeframes: year-long programs, semesters, summers, quarters, winterim programs, and even 1 or 2-week programs offered during a term break. TRAVEL BY MORLEY works with your institution to design the program around the standard models or to combine various models to create new formats. Possibilities are endless: Programs may vary anywhere from one week to one year and involve single cities, multiple cities or have extended excursions to other cities relevant to the program.

1. Hybrid Program Model
