History |
 |
 |
| ACCENT International Consortium for Academic Programs Abroad was founded by Ray Vernon in 1985 as Opportunities in International Learning, a Paris-based organization offering on-site services to U.S. academic institutions. In 1991, the San Francisco Center was opened in order to provide support to the home institutions and their students. Additional overseas Centers were then opened in Florence, London, Madrid and Rome. Almost 20 years of experience coordinating programs in Europe has enabled ACCENT to become one of the leading study abroad specialists in France, Italy, UK and Spain. |
| ACCENT's mission is to encourage intellectual and personal growth by providing educational opportunities that foster understanding of different cultures. ACCENT is committed to offering quality study abroad programs accessible to both traditional and non-traditional students, to creating programs of academic integrity in cooperation with educational institutions, and to developing each individual's cross-cultural awareness and skills. |
