CIEE Certificate of Achievement in International Education

In Spring 2003, CIEE introduced the CIEE Certificate of Achievement in International Education (CAIE) at two CIEE Study Center sites: Wollongong, Australia and Rennes, France.

The objective of the Certificate program is to provide students with tools to help them gain understanding of the host country culture and reflect on American culture, acquire knowledge, and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world. This is accomplished through an extensive reading list, group and one-on-one meetings with the Resident Director, experiential exercises, and the completion of a paper. The granting of the Certificate is based on students’ performance and achievement, and includes criteria related to attendance and grades, as well as a written paper.

Given the success of the program in both Australia and France, the Certificate will be offered at a number of  additional CIEE Study Centers including:

Africa   

  • Dakar, Senegal    
  • Cape Town, South Africa   

Asia   

  • Nanjing, China    
  • Taipei, Taiwan    
  • Hanoi, Vietnam
