Study Abroad Health and Safety

Living abroad means a new environment and lifestyle—two things that can affect your health and safety. With planning and awareness, living abroad can be a very healthy, safe, and rewarding experience for you. CIEE has partnered with experts in producing resources that address health concerns for students who are thinking about studying abroad and, as a founding member of the Interassociational Advisory Committee on Safety and Responsibility in Study Abroad, is committed to the operation of safe and secure study experiences.

CIEE requires all study abroad (college and high school), teach abroad, and gap year program participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to minimize the health risk to participants, staff, and our worldwide communities.

Advocacy & Innovation

You deserve programs that are most relevant to your life and academic needs. As the leader in study abroad, CIEE responds with innovative solutions like our completely customizable Open Campus programs and our variety of short-term programs. And while we change lives, it’s our network of 400,000+ alumni who go on to change the world.
