Description of the Organization

Academic Travel Abroad, Inc. is an educational travel and study abroad provider for many universities, cultural, and media organizations, as well as a growing number of commercial brands. We believe in celebrating and learning about people and cultures through travel and education. Riding the post-war wave of interest in travel to Europe, ATA launched operations in 1950 by assisting universities and institutions in the creation of group travel programs for their members. Every ATA program is designed to change perspectives, deepen understanding, and engage communities, showcasing the stories—both told and untold--of the places and people we visit.
