CCSA launched this new service back in 2019. The goal was to enable our member institutions to control their programs while CCSA provides logistical support. Many of our members offer short-term “faculty-directed” programs, so CCSA created Custom Global as a means to support our member institutions as they sought ways to manage their own programs.
The pandemic shut down these for a few years, but now we are in our second year of growth.
SPRING 2023
We are working with two member institutions on spring break programs.

Bermuda is one of the most important insurance markets in the world and students will meet people in this business. The group includes nine students and two program leaders.

CCSA is a non-profit membership organization; an association of institutions that cooperate on creating and managing study away and abroad programs. We are not simply a “program provider.” The member institutions, guided by the CCSA Board of Trustees, own and operate CCSA.
CCSA Custom Global offer our members the opportunity growth develop their own programs with the support and expertise of the CCSA team.
