Adventist Colleges Abroad
Adventist Colleges Abroad (ACA is a consortium of Seventh-day Adventist colleges and university in North America under the auspices of the Office of Education of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists located in Columbia, Maryland. The ACA consortium provides qualified undergraduate students opportunities to study in other countries such as Argentina, Austria, Brazil, England, France, Italy, Lebanon, and Spain while completing the requirements of their programs at their home colleges. Studying abroad allows students to be immersed in the culture and life of another country while becoming conversant in its language. Students can minor in a foreign language through one of the ACA programs. Through such experiences students also may gain an appreciation of, and perhaps an inspiration for, mission or other multicultural services.
