21 Reasons to Partner with CEA Study Abroad in 2021
As the education abroad field emerges from lockdown and as we move forward into 2021, we know how important it is to be purposeful in selecting a study abroad partner organization.

Choosing a partner that is mission-driven, focused on student success, and keenly aware of their responsibility to ensure student safety abroad is vital to the successful relaunch of a university's internationalization efforts.

Looking forward to 2021, we asked our teams what they think sets CEA apart as a study abroad partner. We invite you to find out what folks had to say.



Spring 2021 Updates

We are continuing to monitor the impact of COVID-19 in our program locations. Presently, we have a number of programs that are still accepting applications for spring 2021 for onsite study. Virtual options are also available either through CEA, or through some of our foreign partner institutions. Please visit our website for the most up-to-date information about spring 2021 programming, and how we’re preparing to host students who may decide to study abroad.

We strive to develop programs that meet the needs of our U.S. partners and allow students to make continued progress towards their degree requirements. Hear from Caroline Walsh, Senior Vice President of Program Development, and Sara Troy, Director of Program Development Initiatives, as they share insight into their process.

Q&A

Between 2 Questions

This month we’d love to hear your thoughts on undergraduate research in study abroad.


Take Our Survey

Last month we asked about study abroad options for STEM Majors.  Not surprisingly, this is an academic area where more options are needed. 100% of respondents indicated that their STEM students have some options, but not enough to cover all STEM majors wanting to study abroad.

Curious which majors need more options? The results were varied:

  • Engineering (outside of Mechanical)
  • Neuroscience
  • Mathematics
  • Technology
  • Chemistry
  • Physics
  • Health Science
