Highlights: An Arcadia program isn't just about enrolling you in an overseas institution however. It's about all of the services that we provide. Before you go, you can contact our program manager for advice on the application process, choosing courses, or simply what you should pack.

Once you arrive, our resident director will lead an orientation program in Auckland and Rotorua that will introduce you to the culture, history and politics of New Zealand as well as preparing you for the academic challenges of studying in a different educational system. During the semester, you can expect to participate with other Arcadia students on a three day weekend in beautiful national park land for a true New Zealand bush and sea experience   

It's almost impossible to explain in words the educational and cultural experience that study abroad can be and Arcadia is there to help you get the most out of that experience.
