International Partnership for Service Learning and Leadership: International Service Learning Programs

International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership (IPSL) programmes unite academic learning with volunteer service to the community. IPSL programs offer academic, credit-bearing courses combined with amazing service-learning opportunities in Hanoi (Vietnam), Thailand, Cambodia, France, Italy, Ireland, Ecuador (Quito/Galapagos Islands and Guayaquil), Thessaloniki (Greece) Arusha (Tanzania) London, England, Cordoba (Argentina) and Cusco (Peru). And a new Spanish language and Arabic language and studies program in Segovia, Spain which has some unique opportunities. Also, check out the newest programs in Hanoi, Vietnam and Cordoba, Argentina!

The studies are rigorous; the service is substantive. By integrating formal study with service to the local community in an intercultural/international setting, students find their learning takes on greater depth and meaning. Subjects studied are diverse and varied and service work falls under many sectors. Most programmes include social work, education, health services and development work. What is included in programme fees differs by programme.

In collaboration with New York's College of Mount St. Vincent, IPSL also offers an MS-IDS (Masters in International Development and Service) graduate program.  For more infomration please visit our graduate page on our website @ http://www.ipsl.org/graduateprograms
