Creating Top-Notch Curricula

Study abroad programs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s simply best to build a program that fits your needs.

CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange has the academic and operations experience, resources, local expertise, and in-country infrastructure to help you design a once-in-a lifetime or repeating program that will meet all of your objectives.

From faculty-led programs to custom semester and custom internship programs, , we’re excited to work with you and build a program that exceeds your expectations.

Get started by contacting us and a CIEE Program Manager will help you envision the program and work with you on outlining details and next steps.

Overcoming Obstacles

We know cost, curriculum, and culture are the three main barriers that prevent students from studying or interning abroad, and we’ll help overcome each one.

Cost
We’re experts at providing innovative, affordable options that match specific academic or internship requirements with a portfolio of program options for every budget.

Curriculum
We’ll help you design a program that keeps your students’ academic progression on a timely track, regardless of discipline or other curricular requirements.

Culture
We’re sensitive to the needs of students from varied cultural and financial backgrounds, and those who typically don't consider studying or interning abroad like athletes, freshmen, sophomores, and students whose parents didn’t study or intern abroad.
