Minds Abroad offers study abroad,
student exchange and
gap year programs in
China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Tibetan Plateau
to high school students, college students, and
adults. Because
of the way our programs integrate our students into the local communities of their host countries, we were recently recognized as a “Top 10 Program in Citizen
Diplomacy.” This award was conferred to us by the Center for
Citizen Diplomacy in partnership with the U.S. State Department.
