About CIEE: A Rich History of International Study Abroad Programs

CIEE is the leading U.S. non-governmental organization offering international study abroad programs. CIEE creates and administers programs that allow high school and university students and educators to study abroad, volunteer abroad, and work and teach abroad. CIEE's mission is to help people gain understanding, acquire knowledge and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world.

Into the chilly postwar world of 1947, CIEE launched the next generation of student study abroad programs, the first since they'd been suspended during World War II. Senators and scholars worried about how to increase international understanding and establish trust between nations. As soon as there was enough capacity aboard trans-Atlantic ships to carry students, CIEE student study abroad programs began.

Among many activities, CIEE administers:

  • over 104 study abroad programs in over 35 host countries
  • 800 volunteer abroad projects in 35 host countries
  • work abroad programs in Australia, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand, and
  • teaching abroad programs in Chile, China, Spain and Thailand.

Study abroad and educational travel is what we do every day. Every one of our U.S. specialists has studied or lived abroad. They can advise you how to choose an international study abroad program that fits your needs. Our overseas staff members will help with any problem -- academic or personal.

We approach our tasks aware of the great responsibility we are given to help mold tomorrow's citizens in a complex and fast-changing world.
