As we move towards 2026, our custom and faculty-led programs continue to grow and diversify — offering tailored experiences across Latin America and Spain. Here’s a quick look at what has shaped our year so far.
With 15+ custom programs scheduled in Puerto Rico in 2026, the island stands out as one of our fastest-growing destinations — making it the perfect location for our upcoming Group Site Visit (June 7–12, 2025).
Participants will explore academic opportunities, community engagement projects, and the local culture that make Puerto Rico an ideal setting for faculty-led initiatives.
At SSA Education Abroad, our custom and faculty-led programs are evolving to meet the growing demand for experiential and career-relevant study abroad opportunities. Institutions now seek short-term, high-impact opportunities that blend academic learning with hands-on experiences and cultural immersion.
In 2025, 84% of SSA custom and faculty-led programs lasted one month or less, reflecting the popularity of and demand for shorter-term programs. Through close collaboration with our partner universities, SSA designs tailor-made programs that balance academic goals with practical, real-world experiences, supported by our strong local infrastructure in Spain, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama, and Argentina.
SSA stands out as a first-rate provider of authentic educational experiences in Spanish-speaking locales. Known for our tailored programs that plunge students into the language, SSA encourages deep academic and personal growth throughout both Spain and Latin America.
Whether it’s through custom faculty-led programs, specialized high school trips, or enriching semesters abroad, Spanish Studies Abroad ensures that every journey is not just a trip but a transformative adventure in learning. With a holistic approach to language fluency and cultural understanding, each SSA program is more than an education—it’s a gateway to a global future.
