Courses

New Courses at CEA Study Centers

New courses are developed to support our discipline-based approach to academics, as well as to support our U.S. University partners. We have the flexibility to offer courses during any term. We're pleased to share some of our newest courses.

Programs

Madrid

It’s official - CEA Madrid is now home to our newest Study Center! Building on more than 20 years of experience in Madrid, our new Study Center will use the city as a classroom, incorporating academics with purposeful site visits and fieldtrips that take full advantage of this vibrant, diverse urban setting. Starting Summer 2022, students will enroll in CEA’s signature internship program, earning between 3 and up to 6 credits and completing a placement in English or Spanish in a variety of career fields. In the semester, students are able to complement CEA Madrid Center courses with coursework at our local partner institution, Universidad Antonio de Nebrija.

Prague

We are excited to expand our programing options in Prague through CEA’s Study Center. Since 2007, we've offered study abroad programs in partnership with our local partner institution, Anglo American University (AAU), and students have enjoyed access to over 100 courses taught in English across a variety of subject areas. With the addition of the Prague Study Center, we're now able to complement students' coursework at AAU through unique programming options.

In the summer, we offer a new program in Engineering & Math. This 6-week program offers courses in Calculus III, Differential Equations, Engineering Statistics, and Linear Algebra, and students can take an additional elective course at AAU.

Additionally, the Internship in Prague summer program now features an additional summer session, aligned to the quarter academic calendar. Offered from mid-June to mid-August, students have access to a wide variety of career fields including many traditionally underserved such as engineering, and finance.

Grenoble

CEA’s signature internship program is now available in Grenoble, France! This 8-week, summer program gives students the opportunity to earn 3-6 credits and complete meaningful internship placements across a range of career fields, including information technology (IT), marketing, computer services & data management, sports science, tourism & hospitality, life sciences & resource management, and more. Students are  able to complement their internship experience with a French language course offered through our partner institution, Université Grenoble – Alpes. Click here for more information about the internship or study + internship program.

Paris

CEA’s Fashion Studies in Paris program is designed to give students critical insight into the fashion industry in Paris and in Europe. Through available coursework, students can approach fashion from the perspective of business, art history, or communication studies, or a combination of these three angles. Additional elective courses focus on aspects of French culture and may fulfill a humanities or social science requirement.

Florence

We’re pleased to offer the J-term in Italy program through the CEA Florence Center.  Offered from late December to mid-January, this program takes students to galleries, museums, wine and cheese tastings, local businesses, and historic tours, for an unforgettable learning environment.  

Undergraduate Research Abroad

The Undergraduate Research Abroad program is designed for students seeking to elevate their experience abroad through a research opportunity. Students engage with a local faculty through the Independent Study Project seminar to develop a question relevant to their field of study and a research plan that takes full advantage of the unique human and material resources in their host city/country. The program is offered through our Study Centers in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Florence and Seville. 

First Year Experience Abroad

We are exited to offer FYE Abroad programs in Seville, Florence and Dublin. Rooted in U.S. higher education best practices, first-year experiences are valuable high-impact practices that set U.S. institutions apart while supporting student development and academic success. By partnering with CEA, U.S. institutions have access to our cohort model in which institutions share courses, housing, and co-curricular programming with other first-year programs. Whether it's for the fall or spring semester, we are here to help you make your institution stand apart. Click here for more information.

Locations

We’re pleased to continue offering programming in CEA’s newest locations: Amsterdam, Netherlands, Budapest, Hungary and Cape Town, South Africa. Programs feature robust course options – taught in English – in a variety of disciplines, including business, computer science, STEM, humanities, as well as opportunities to be immersed in courses with local and international students.
