Programs

New Study Center & Program Options in The French Riviera 
CEA CAPA is proud to introduce a new Study Center option to our program portfolio. Nestled in the heart of the French Riviera, this dynamic new facility is set in the picturesque coastal town of Antibes and is a perfect destination for students looking to blend their education with the Riviera lifestyle.  The Center will offer coursework transcripted by our School of Record, the University of New Haven, and it will also support custom and faculty-led programs—perfect for schools seeking tailored educational experiences in a stunning environment. 

The CEA CAPA Antibes Study Center will offer new summer and semester program options that include coursework in a variety of subject areas. Starting in Summer 2026 we will offer a new Study in the French Riviera program featuring French language and culture as well as active learning experiences and local excursions.  Students can choose from two 4-week sessions to make the most of their summer in one of France’s most scenic destinations.

Beginning in Fall 2026, the Study in the French Riviera program will be a hybrid with the CEA CAPA Antibes Center and the SKEMA Business School.  Students will select from new courses at the Study Center including options in business, French language, computer science, and cultural studies and will round out their semester with courses at SKEMA. We will continue to offer a direct enroll semester program at SKEMA Business School.

These are just the start of new program options in the French Riviera, so stay tuned for more updates in this destination!

Pre-health Shadowing in Barcelona, Madrid & Rome

Students in health-related fields who need hospital shadowing placement hours can now do so while earning academic credit abroad! Programs are available in BarcelonaMadrid and Rome. In our 4-week module, students complete 60 hours of observational ‘hands-in-pockets’ placement while taking a 3-credit CEA CAPA course designed to supplement the hospital shadowing experience.  The course will give students the foundational background and reflective framework they need to get the most from their time observing.  Those looking for more time abroad or a higher courseload can opt for an additional 4 weeks of study to create an 8-week program and earn up to 9 total credits.  Spaces on these programs are extremely limited!

London

Starting Summer 2026 we're launching a refreshed Theatre Studies program that replaces Creative & Performing Arts and the Theatre Arts listings. The program will be anchored by 3 exciting new courses - British Theatre: Text & Performance,  Theatre & Justice and London Theatre: A History - building on CEA CAPA's expertise and network that are designed to meet the needs of Theatre majors with cross-listings to appeal to other interested students.

Madrid

Summer program options in Madrid are expanding!  Course options include Mass Media & the Fashion Industry, Spanish Civilization & Culture, Sustainable Development and more! Moreover, we're continuing to add new semester course options at the CEA CAPA Madrid Study Center to meet the needs of a variety of academic majors.

Dublin

Summer 2026 will see an addition of a Sports & Society program at the CEA CAPA Dublin Center. This 6-week, 6-credit program gives students an opportunity to explore a defining element of Irish culture and kickstart a career in a sports-related field. Students can step on the pitch for unforgettable workshops and take courses for faculty specialized in sports management, operations and marketing. Course highlights: Sport Marketing, Sports in Irish Society.

Community Engaged Global Learning Course 

Service Learning at CEA CAPA is being renamed to Community Engaged Global Learning!  This reflects a shift in academic discourse around this type of class.  Service Learning is sometimes seen or perceived as implying that the relationship involved is one-way, with the student providing service to address a local need.  Community Engaged learning changes the narrative to reflect a reciprocal relationship between the student and the local community, wherein the student is also a recipient of value: they gain knowledge, experience and insight that would be unavailable to them without the welcome of the host organization. The course is offered during the semester at the CEA CAPA Study Centers in Barcelona and Seville

 

Quarter-Friendly Program Options
Winter Quarter Programs in Prague & Sydney

CEA CAPA is proud to announce two new Winter Quarter programs at the CEA CAPA Study Centers in Sydney and Prague.  These programs were developed in collaboration with several key partners and are tailored to complement the academic calendar and offer unique study abroad opportunities during a period that's traditionally been underserved. Starting Spring 2026, we’re adding a Study + Internship option in Sydney, allowing students to swap one of the courses for an internship seminar and complete a placement in a variety of career fields. 

Program features include:

  • Program dates that run early January to mid-March, making them perfectly aligned with the winter quarter.
  • A variety of course offerings that align with a range of majors and academic interests.
  • Ability to take 3 – 4 courses, earn 9 – 12 semester credits, and maintain financial aid eligibility.
  • Two exciting destinations!  Students can swap the winter chill for a summer in Sydney or enjoy Prague's magical snowy vistas while remaining on track for graduation.
Internships in London and Prague

London and Prague each offer an internship program option with a later summer start. The internship is accompanied by the Global Internship Course to help students learn how to articulate the value of their internship through the lens of NACE Career Readiness Competencies. A wide range of internship career fields are available including business, communication, design, performing arts, political science, and more!

Global Business Consulting

CEA CAPA is proud to offer a career-focused course in our semester and summer portfolio. This hands-on course places students into small consulting teams to engage in project-based learning with business enterprises abroad. In addition to weekly class instruction, students meet regularly with clients to generate solutions to real-world business problems. Students complement the Business Consulting course with additional electives. The course is available at our CEA CAPA Study Centers in the following locations:

First Year Experience Abroad
