Every year, the Embassy of the United States offers Algerians the opportunity to engage in firsthand cultural exchange with their American peers through its diverse educational and cultural exchange programs.
The U.S. Embassy in Algiers strives to foster mutual understanding between the people of the United States and Algeria. This mission, implemented by U.S. embassies around the world, is overseen within the Department of State by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).
Educational and cultural exchange programs are offered both to students and professionals. They range from short-visit programs not exceeding one week to long-term postgraduate studies. These programs may be directly administered by the Embassy or are run by American cultural organizations. Not all programs are administered on an annual basis, and the U.S. Embassy will share information when available.
Note: Employees of the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. government and their immediate family members are not eligible for exchange opportunities.
