Choose Your Program's Academic Structure

CEA CAPA's approach to custom programs allows institutions to create the program that best suits their needs. Our academic program models provide adaptable and versatile programming opportunities.

• Faculty-Taught: Students enroll in coursework taught by faculty member(s) from their home institution.
• CEA CAPA-Taught: Students enroll in CEA CAPA- and/or partner institution-taught coursework as part of a specifically designed program.
• Shared Academics: Students enroll in coursework taught by their home institution’s faculty and also enroll in CEA CAPA- and/or partner institution-taught coursework.
