An Easier Way to Find Study Abroad Courses

We have made a major change in the way you can find study abroad courses on our website. We’ve taken your suggestions to heart and made each city’s entire course offerings into a comprehensive list.


What's Different?
Traditionally on our website, you choose a study abroad program that matches your area of study (and you still can). This works really well when only one program fits what you need. But often there are two or more programs to choose from. You used to have to do a lot of back and forth to check out all course descriptions before deciding on the right program for you. Our new comprehensive course lists remove that obstacle and allow you to view all of the courses in each city at once. Full Curriculum options are a minor exception by only listing subject areas (that’s because we offer ALL of our partner institutions’ course catalogs)

In each destination’s left navigation, you will find a link to “Courses” which lists all the courses available in that city. To get you started, just choose your favorite city from the list below and start reviewing courses!

CEA September Savings Event
FINAL WEEK TO SAVE
$1000 Off Seville, $500 Off Barcelona

It’s the final week for CEA’s September Savings and if you haven’t yet taken advantage of our great study abroad offers you have two opportunities left! All students who sign up this week for a Spring 2009 program in Barcelona or Seville using the promotion code Spain09Savings will receive up to $1,000 off their program price. All you have to do is apply to the program by October 5th and you will receive the respective discounts for each destination.
5 Reasons to Study in Barcelona
  1. Art, Culture and Diversity -Barcelona is home to a large number of deeply influential artists, such as Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Antoni Gaudi. If you love art, you’re in for a treat! If you have yet to join the art crowd take advantage of this rare opportunity to enrich your artistic appreciation.
  2. CEA GlobalCampus – don’t spend all of your time abroad in a classroom! At the CEA GlobalCampus you’ll go beyond four walls for a hands-on, interactive learning experience.
  3. Location – located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and just hours from France, Barcelona is the perfect place for beach lovers and travel gurus alike.
  4. Considered one of the most progressive cities in Spain – a major economic center and an important cultural destination, Barcelona provides a unique opportunity for Liberal Arts and Social Science study.
  5. Warm Weather and Beaches – Escape the winter and head for a warmer destination this Spring. Barcelona has 7 beaches and with average spring temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s you won’t miss the snow at all!
5 Reasons to Study in Seville

  1. CEA GlobalCampus – Explore this traditional Spanish culture and improve your language skills at the CEA GlobalCampus. This program offers a unique blend of classes designed to enhance your Spanish understanding and cultural immersion as well as provide you interesting and innovative Humanities courses.
  2. Tapas – If this was the only reason you went to Spain it would be a good one! Tapas, little dishes or snacks offered in almost any cafeteria, bar or restaurant throughout Spain, are a great way to sample Spanish food. This is also a very social and interactive Spanish tradition. But what exactly is all the fuss about? You’ll have to see for yourself.
  3. Fería de Abril - Be a part of the biggest celebration in Spain. This week long festival draws in people from all over Spain to take part in the round the clock spectacle of flamenco dancing, bullfighting, music, food and much more. While you might end up dancing the night away, be sure to partake in all the daily events that give you a look at Spanish traditions and cultural insights.
  4. The people - The sevillanos are warm and welcoming, loved for their charm and hospitality. You won’t find a friendlier bunch of Spaniards anywhere. They’re happy to welcome visitors, students, and anyone else who makes their way to Seville.
  5. The Vibe - On paper it’s one of Spain’s most important cities, but with the infectiously happy and laid back atmosphere, don’t be surprised to find yourself immersed in conversation with a friendly local as you stroll the streets. Plus you can’t beat the weather in the spring, with temperatures ranging from the low 70’s to mid 80’s, need we say more?

Guadalajara

Whether you plan to work directly with the Spanish speaking community or just want to improve your Spanish language skills and cultural awareness, a semester in Guadalajara is sure to improve your resume. In addition you'll fall in love with the charming culture of this traditional Mexican society.


San Jose
Attention all nature lovers! San Jose is the perfect opportunity to enhance your environmental knowledge. CEA offers programs in Environmental Studies and Tropical Ecology, and there's no better place to study them than in the lush landscapes of Costa Rica. If you're not a science or environmental major, don't count yourself out! CEA also offers programs in Business; Spanish Language; Liberal Arts; Culture, Art & Media; and more. No matter what you study be sure to take full advantage (i.e. go surfing, white water rafting, snorkeling, etc.) of the beautiful countryside of Costa Rica.


Buenos Aires
The "Paris of South America", as it is often called for its European flavor, is a hot study abroad destination right now. Voted in 2007 as one of the top ten countries where people want to live, Argentina is loved for its great food (especially beef!), low cost, nightlife, and customs. The New York Times stated "Drawn by low prices and Paris-like elegance, expat artists, designers and musicians are transforming Buenos Aires into a throbbing hothouse of cool". Explore this captivating culture with our programs in Latin American Studies and Intensive Spanish Language.

CEA September Savings: Week 2

CEA September Savings Event

$2,500 Off Rome & $1500 off Florence Spring 2009 programs at the CEA GlobalCampus


It's Week Two in CEA's September Savings and we've got two study abroad programs that you won't want to miss! All students who sign up this week for a Spring 2009 program at the CEA GlobalCampus in Rome or Florence using the promotion code Italy09Savings will receive up to $2500 off their program price. All you have to do is apply to the program with this week's promo code by September 21st and you will receive the respective discounts for each destination in Italy!
  • $2500 off a CEA GlobalCampus program in Rome
  • $1500 off a CEA GlobalCampus program in Florence
With that kind of savings, you'll have no problem getting a plane ticket and booking a few weekend trips once you're abroad.

Why study in Italy?
Rome
The Capital of the World or Caput Mundi, as it is often called, is a city of cultural and political importance. As the capital of Italy, this bustling city has an abundance of activities. From a leisurely coffee in one of the city's many piazzas to visits to historical landmarks like the Colosseum, you'll never have a dull moment. Plus as a student at the CEA GlobalCampus you'll get exclusive access to places normally closed to the public. For example, last year our students visited the chambers of the Italian Parliament and held a semi-private audience with Pope Benedict XVI.

Florence
The birthplace of the Renaissance, this city is renowned for its history and art. Although still a large city, Florence maintains a smaller-town feel and can be described as a city within everyone’s reach. If you like art, and even if you don’t, you will love Florence! Fun fact – about 60% of the world’s most important works of art are located in Italy and about half of those are located in Florence. Uncover your artistic nature in the home town of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, (we’re talking artists not Ninja Turtles) and modern day designer Guccio Gucci.

Don’t miss this opportunity to study in Italy. With so much history culture, and a unique academic experience, you may never want to go home!

For more information on our Italy study abroad programs log onto our website or call an advisor at 1-800-266-4441.

Florence and Rome are hard to pass up, but if you’re still considering another study abroad destination check back on Monday for the third destination in CEA’s September Savings.
