LATIN AMERICA & CARIBBEANSemester Programs

At CIEE, study abroad is so much more than coursework in a new country. It’s about taking students out of their daily routine and introducing sights, sounds, scents, and flavors that chip away their illusion of separateness and allow a sense of mutuality to emerge. That’s why our programs are packed with co-curricular activities and excursions and why we believe intercultural understanding has the power to change the world.

*NAFSA Trends in Study Abroad 2016-2017

Nothing should prevent your students from studying abroad.

Dear Educators,

International education experiences help students develop intercultural understanding and a global perspective. Despite these life-long benefits, only 10% of U.S. college students study abroad.* Why?

Barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture often stand in the way.

We at CIEE are committed to clearing a path so that all students, regardless of socio-economic, academic, racial, or ethnic background, have access to international education.

CIEE offers more than $8 million a year in scholarships and grants, including guaranteed travel grants to all Pell-eligible students, and awards for Gilman applicants, students from Minority Serving Institutions, and more.

Plus, CIEE has a diverse portfolio of short-term and traditional semester study abroad options in many academic disciplines. Besides first-in-class language programs, we have programs focused on business, design, journalism, and scores of other subjects. CIEE’s wide range of options means that nearly all students can find a way to study abroad during their time in college regardless of the requirements of their major or constraints of their institution’s academic calendar.

In response to demand, we’ve added dozens of new English-taught STEM courses to our Open Campus Block programming, many including a lab component. These courses are fundamental-level, so STEM students can study abroad earlier in their academic career and non-STEM majors can complete a science or math requirement abroad. They are taught in 6-week blocks across our Global Institute Network, which now includes Shanghai and Sydney.

We will keep working on new ways to open the door to international education for every student, and I hope you’ll join us in our efforts to convey to all students that study abroad is for them, not just for the 10% who currently are able to take advantage of the opportunity.

James P. Pellow, Ed.D. President and CEO, CIEE, Inc.

LATIN AMERICA & CARIBBEANSemester Programs

At CIEE, study abroad is so much more than coursework in a new country. It’s about taking students out of their daily routine and introducing sights, sounds, scents, and flavors that chip away their illusion of separateness and allow a sense of mutuality to emerge. That’s why our programs are packed with co-curricular activities and excursions and why we believe intercultural understanding has the power to change the world.
