Expand your academic experience this semester with courses that go beyond traditional online classes. Take part in EdOdyssey’s virtual study abroad program that uniquely combines a cultural learning module with academic course(s) at the top university in Peru.

The mission and responsibility of EdOdyssey starts with serving our students and the world through experiential learning. As leaders in international education, our organization feels compelled to raise our voice against racial discrimination and violence and to educate on the differences that exist within societies abroad.

This upcoming semester, we are proud to incorporate this key part of global learning through our Virtual Study Abroad program. During your virtual study abroad program, you will not only take online coursework with our partner institution Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, one of Peru’s top universities, but you can also bring a bit of Peruvian culture into your home with our cultural modules that complement your courses!!

As part of our Virtual Study Abroad program next semester, you will gain an inside, cultural perspective on Peru with our partners at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). To complement these courses, you will enjoy cultural modules that will provide you with an in-depth view of the past, present, and future of the country.

Anyone who speaks more than one language can tell you that vocabulary and terminology are not the only things that change when communicating with someone in a different tongue: cultural knowledge and context are crucial to effective and accurate communication. This is certainly true for many Latinx communities in the United States. Along with the English-Spanish language barrier, cultural differences and fear of cultural misunderstandings also hinder communication for Latinx people and can make reaching out for help especially difficult.
