College Study Abroad

Summer is here and it’s the perfect time for a change of scenery. Why not grab a few credits or some work experience abroad? Here are the top six reasons why SUMMER is a great time of year to study abroad:

Go anywhere for as little (or as long) as you'd like

When it comes to spending your summer abroad with CIEE, the world is your oyster. Choose from:

  • 4-week summer sessions in 13 epic locations around the world (with a guaranteed 20% discount per session when you enroll in two or more sessions)
  • 6-week summer blocks in 16 incredible global cities, with financial aid never beyond reach
  • 8-week intensive programs, for optimal language and cultural immersion

Get out and explore

CIEE has summer programs in more than 30 amazing cities around the world. Can’t decide on one? Good news! When you enroll in summer sessions or summer blocks, you can spend a few weeks in one location before traveling to a second (or third) new location!

Imagine studying fine art in Rome, international business in Barcelona, and British theater in London, all in one summer. Or if you truly want to immerse yourself in a country’s culture, spend the entire summer in one city. 

It won’t break the bank

Studying or interning abroad during the summer are among the most budget-friendly options for students. Programs are nearly 5x cheaper than semester programs, and CIEE also offers summer-only scholarships and grants to really stack the savings. Bonus: if you’re Pell-eligible, you'll also get your airfare covered to and from your CIEE program location(s). Simply fill out the quick and easy Scholarship and Grants portion of the CIEE application to apply!

Sunny summer skies

From the silky-smooth beaches of Sydney to the lush Cloud Forest Reserve in Monteverde, study abroad and spend your summer in style. Pack your sunscreen and treat yourself to a walking tour of East London’s street art scene, a peaceful moment in a Zen garden in Tokyo, or a relaxing swim in the Hungarian Sea.  

Summer = festivals!

Did you know some of the biggest, can’t-miss festivals are held during the summer? Imagine yourself… 

  • Dancing with friends at England's world-famous Glastonbury Festival
  • Watching the parade of floats at Japan's Aomori Nebuta Matsuri Festival
  • Cheering for your favorite dragon-boat athlete during China's Dragon Boat Festival
  • Watching tango dancers' incredible moves during Argentina's Tango Festival
