Where Will Purdue and CIEE Take You?
Purdue has partnered with CIEE: Council on International Education Exchange, to offer the following co-sponsored programs during the academic year.
Students pay program fees directly to CIEE and a Purdue study abroad fee to the bursar. Purdue Main Campus students, whether residents or non-residents, pay a comprehensive program fee that usually includes tuition, housing, meals, international health insurance, and a few excursions. Financial aid can be applied to these program costs, and credits and grades are directly transferred to the students' Purdue transcripts. Additionally, students may apply for CIEE and Purdue scholarships and grants. Co-sponsored programs are available for the summer, semester or academic year.
