CIEE Membership and Mission

Institutions seek membership in CIEE primarily to affiliate with our mission, support our voice in advocacy efforts in Washington and other world capitals, and to have a policy voice in CIEE programs and activities through their election of the Board of Directors. As such, CIEE Members are part of a worldwide network of colleges and universities committed to excellence in international education.
