CEA started in 1996 with one simple philosophy: to pro-

vide quality study abroad education for college students

with service at the core of the organization. Since then,

our vision of innovation and creative global education

solutions has lead to unprecedented growth. At CEA we

always look for better ways to serve the interests of our

students and partners.

Mission Statement

To create and facilitate opportunities for personal growth

and global understanding through quality international

education and cultural experiences.

Cities of Operation

A Model of Growth & Innovation

Since its inception in 1996, CEA has steadily built a foun-

dation for excellence and growth – an investment that has

paid off. Through a commitment to the development of

quality programs, individualized service, and use of inno-

vative technology, our enrollment has increased 3500%

between 1996 and 2007.

Academic Diversity

Taking the best of many educational models, CEA has cre-

ated the CEA GlobalCampus Network, combining aca-

demic excellence, inter-cultural competency, immersion

and international connection. In addition, we are constant-

ly expanding our network of International Partner Institu-

tions to provide students with a local educational experi-

ence. Within the CEA GlobalCampus Network, Academic

Deans and dedicated faculty members are selected based

on their like-minded philosophy of international education,

shared strategic vision, and solid foundation of academic

quality and experience. We at CEA are committed to creat-

ing intellectually stimulating programs and active learning

environments through all of our programming initiatives.

We promote experiential learning, global citizenship, and

the pursuit of life-long learning to help students achieve

their academic, personal and professional goals.

Exemplary Service

CEA was founded on the principle of providing quality

service to students and parents through the entire inter-

national education process, from pre-departure planning

through the return home and beyond. Our regionally fo-

cused University Relations team provides the same level of

service to US faculty and advisors through campus visits,

promotional events for students, and instructional oppor-

tunities for staff and faculty. Every CEA program is evalu-

ated to ensure that we are not only meeting, but exceeding

student expectations. Program components such as advis-

ing, orientation, staff, academic quality, and excursions

are evaluated by pre-departure and re-entry surveys. Our

web-based evaluation system was designed exclusively for

CEA and enables us to continually monitor the quality of

our services and programs.

A History of Innovation

CEA was the first in the field to adopt a comprehensive

internet strategy utilizing web-based student information,

an online application, a live chat feature, podcasting, ac-

cess to dynamic online pre-departure literature and direct

toll-free access to headquarters staff. In addition, each CEA

GlobalCampus facility features modern, fully equipped

classrooms, computer labs, study rooms and library ser-

vices, complete with technology designed to complement

the students’ learning experiences. Our state-of-the-art,

web-based enrollment process gives students access to

their program information 24 hours a day, allowing them to

update their personal information, access data about their

program and submit academic choices and housing pref-

erences online. We have built a digital infrastructure that

allows CEA staff around the world to access this student

information electronically. This helps to facilitate faster and

more efficient communication not only between our head-

quarter office and international staff, but also between the

international staff and our partner institutions, thereby

increasing our ability to provide unparalleled quality cus-

tomer service.

Proven Outcomes

The positive experiences and learning outcomes of stu-

dents are of paramount importance to CEA. Tracking and

measuring student evaluation results enables us to provide

superior quality assurance. CEA students fill out a program

evaluation upon re-entry after their study abroad experi-

ence. This data is analyzed and used to improve the quality

of future service and study abroad programs. We receive

overwhelmingly positive evaluations every year.

Bringing the World into FocusCurriculum aimed at personal and professional development

Extending Your ReachOffering colleges and universities programs to respond to students’ unique needs

CEA conducted the “Study Abroad National Challenge Survey” in 2007. This study was de-signed to uncover the field’s preparedness for

the dramatic increase in US students studying abroad within the next ten years as called for by the Lincoln Commission and the Paul Simon Study Abroad Founda-tion Act. We learned that there was an obvious need for greater partnerships with study abroad providers, thus widening student access and diversifying the study abroad program portfolio on every campus.

The CEA GlobalCampus Network caters to the strategic

need of US universities and colleges to internationalize

their campuses by increasing their students’ access to study

abroad programs, offering the flexibility to better serve

underrepresented disciplines in the international setting,

creating outreach programs for non-traditional students to

study abroad, and providing additional program manage-

ment options to the traditional faculty-led program model.

Each site is designed for teaching 200-500 students. The

hallmarks of a CEA GlobalCampus include:

Curriculum design, development and delivery•Facilities design and utilization•Consistent technology design and deployment •Rigorous academic policies, controls and support •Comprehensive health and safety protocols•Legal and risk management expertise•Learning and outcomes assessment•Student life, housing and academic • resources

At the heart of the CEA GlobalCampus Network is a strong dedication to academic integrity, complemented by a commitment to innovation. The professionally focused curriculum is centered on gaining intercultural

competency in the context of each course. Students acquire skills and perspec-tives that will aid them in navigating the modern world.

The innovative and learner-centered curriculum engages students in dynamic activities that bring relevance to their educational, personal and professional pursuits, and equips them with the tools they will need to address global is-sues. Learning transcends the classroom as lessons are presented through the framework of active learning. Students are engaged in activities that leverage the host city’s culture, commerce and media as the landscape for delivering the academics through:

Field study •In-class debate and discussion •Development research •Classroom portfolio presentations•

Company excursions •Guest lectures•

Team-based projects •


University of Record PartnershipAssuring academic quality through vigilance and accountability

CEA and the University of New Haven (UNH) have

partnered to promote a comprehensive academic

agreement through which UNH acts as the Uni-

versity of Record, which holds the accreditation and en-

sures academics comply with accreditation standards for

all CEA GlobalCampus programs.

The University of New Haven, founded in 1920, is a pri-

vate, comprehensive university located in West Haven,

Connecticut. UNH’s mission is to prepare career-ready

graduates for meaningful roles in today’s global economy

and to nurture the pursuit of life-long learning. The univer-

sity offers more than 80 undergraduate degree programs

and more than 25 graduate degree programs, including in-

novative fields such as sports management, nutrition and

dietetics, forensic science, music and sound recording,

engineering, computer science, fire science and criminal

justice. UNH has a full-time undergraduate enrollment of

more than 3,200 students and a Graduate School enroll-

ment exceeding 1,800 day and evening graduate students.

The agreement between UNH and CEA follows the high-

est standards of good practice in education abroad and

satisfies the rigorous requirements of the University’s in-

Rethinking Study AbroadCharting a new course with responsive programming

We at CEA recognize the importance of study-

ing abroad as a key element in a student’s

education. We are concerned that less than

three percent of students actually study abroad, accord-

ing to the US Department of Education. Many programs

are short term, faculty led, or “island” programs for North

American students. The current trends of universities,

professional organizations and government agencies sug-

gest that significantly more students should study abroad.

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement

to meet these demands, we are engaged in an ongoing

process of rethinking study abroad. This process examines

all aspects of study abroad, including learning outcomes,

the curriculum, the student body, cultural immersion and

the administration of our programs. Our goal is to offer

programming that is responsive to our students and part-

ners, and that is learner-centered, cross-disciplinary, inter-

cultural and flexible. In the future, we look forward to an

expanded breadth of CEA GlobalCampus programming

options including internships, service learning and an hon-

ors program.

The CEA GlobalCampus Network sites are envisioned

to be centers of life-long learning, wherein many types

of programs and constituents will be served. The under-

graduate programs will, in the future, host a student body

consisting of North American study abroad students, host

country students from our partner universities and interna-

tional students who wish to study abroad for up to a year.

In addition, these centers are poised to continue serving

these same undergraduates throughout the course of their

lives, as well as new seekers of international opportuni-

ties through executive education programs, distance learn-

ing courses and continuing education programs for adult

learners.


stitutional accreditor, The Commission on Higher Educa-

tion of the New England Association for Schools and Col-

leges (CIHE/NEASC). The agreement follows the widely

accepted statement by institutional accreditors on “Policy

on Contractual Arrangements Involving Courses and Pro-

grams”, which can be accessed through the CEA web site at

www.GoWithCEA.com/UNH. The Commission fully en-

dorses the agreement, stating that they appreciate “the

care with which the University approached the contrac-

tual relationship, the identification of external expertise to

help with the development of this initiative, and the best

practices being implemented in the program.”

After submitting the contract to a full review at a Novem-

ber 2006 meeting, the CIHE/NEASC Board assured that

the agreement met or exceeded all requirements.

Under this agreement, UNH assumes responsibility to set

and monitor all academic standards from the approval of

courses to the appointment of faculty. UNH also involves

its faculty according to its own internal processes in all

academic aspects, including regular site reviews by fac-

ulty. The inaugural site review took place in June of 2008,

and in the Fall of 2008, NEASC announced that CEA’s pro-

grams passed the full review.

UNH faculty review all courses taught through the CEA

GlobalCampus Network. Each course syllabus is evaluated

by a Curriculum Review Committee, comprised of regu-

lar UNH faculty, for appropriate contact time, depth and

breadth, forms of assessment, texts, and materials prior to

approval. UNH approved syllabi are available for review

on the CEA web site. The same committee reviews faculty

appointments, as well as the appointments of Academic

Affairs staff, the biographies of whom are also available for

review on the CEA web site.

Academic decisions made in the field are in accordance

with pre-established criteria set by UNH.

As the CEA University of Record, UNH requires that inter-

nal academic controls within CEA be administered by aca-

demics whose qualifications approximate those of compa-

rable academic administrators on the home campus and

are consistent with the requirements of overseas partner

universities.

Students studying at the CEA GlobalCampus have access

to online library resources at the University of New Ha-

ven. Access to these online resources is an integral part of

research and learning as articulated through each course

syllabus. The online access to UNH’s library, combined

with the print and media resources available to students at

each CEA GlobalCampus, provide a wealth of resources

that meet and exceed the requirements of UNH’s Regional

Accreditor, NEASC.

UNH faculty actively teaching at various network sites

through the establishment of a semester-in-residence pro-

gram that will rotate across sites.

CEA Custom ProgramsTransforming how faculty and students approach study abroad

As more university and college presidents, govern-

ing boards and international professional organi-

zations recognize the importance of globalizing

higher education, CEA recognizes the importance of offer-

ing a diverse portfolio of programs to compliment our part-

ner institutions in serving more students and globalizing

the faculty. The CEA GlobalCampus Network furnishes the

resources necessary to assist study abroad advisors, ad-

ministrators and faculty in developing custom programs in

a variety of locations and academic disciplines. Partnering

with CEA in the development of a custom program assures

high quality academic programming, access to resources

not readily available to individual faculty members and

program oversight by an experienced team of academic

and study abroad professionals.

CEA understands the tremendous work involved in setting

up and operating a successful academic program in an in-

ternational setting. The process of creating and designing

a program, from making local connections and ensuring

students’ safety to providing a strong academic focus, is

a challenging and labor intensive task that can be over-

whelming. CEA has long recognized the need to alleviate

this burden on faculty by providing custom program solu-

tions. The CEA GlobalCampus Network is simply the next

step in the evolution of custom programs at CEA.

Custom program options at CEA are designed to be easily

tailored to meet diverse academic needs of departments

and faculty at US institutions. Programs can either be built

on existing CEA programs, thus allowing the use of CEA

infrastructure, or can be built from scratch allowing the

ultimate flexibility within CEA’s destinations.


Custom Program DevelopmentCreating educational partnerships that enhance global learning

CEA uses its dedicated staff and global network

of academic contacts, combined with extensive

experience creating quality study abroad custom

programs, to accommodate the individual needs of aca-

demic institutions and bolster the advancement of their

students.

Custom Program Examples

The University of Arizona (UA)

In response to the increasing student demand for interna-

tional coursework within the University of Arizona’s Eller

School of Management, CEA, in collaboration with UNH

and UA, created a unique course titled “Politics and Lead-

ership in the Classical World”. This specialized curriculum

is being delivered at the CEA GlobalCampus in Rome by

CEA faculty. The program calendar was custom built in or-

der to complement UA’s term schedule and students have

full access to standard CEA value package amenities in-

cluding organized housing, onsite staff services and orien-

tation. Relevant excursions are integrated into the course-

work to bring the active learning trademark of the CEA

GlobalCampus to life. This custom course is transcripted

by UNH.

Ohio Dominican University (ODU)

Ohio Dominican University partnered with CEA to create

a custom program in Rome that provides onsite infrastruc-

ture and support. Students can take courses taught by an

ODU professor and also have access to CEA curriculum

including Italian Language & Culture, Business, Political

Science and History. The signature study abroad active

learning elements are infused into all CEA Rome curricu-

lum and ODU students are fully integrated with other CEA

students for their housing, social and immersion activities.

This program is dual transcripted by ODU and UNH.

Active Learning ExamplesCourses that set CEA GlobalCampus programs apart from the rest

PARISGay Paris: Culture, Society & Urban Sexual Identity

Throughout the semester, students participate in the building of the intellectual superstructure of the

course by creating and utilizing a physical map of Paris. The “Gay Paris Map” that the students concep-

tualize and physically construct over the course of the semester relies on interaction with members of

the local community who share experiences and ideas relative to the city’s LGBT identity and histori-

cal evolution. This combined with the students’ own input creates a physical tool for pinpointing and

reflecting gay and lesbian urban spaces as well as community centers and locales in the contemporary

city space. As part of this face-to-face interaction with the local community, dialogues with people

such as the Miss Gentry Lane or the vice president of the local Act UP chapter take place in-class,

affording students an opportunity to meet the next generation responsible for building upon the foun-

dations of Gay Paris.

FLORENCERenaissance Apprentice

Designed for the beginner as well as the experienced, this course lets students re-live the training and

exercises of the Renaissance artist’s workshop. Students learn the practical techniques of drawing,

panel painting and fresco painting, often studying onsite directly from the great artworks in museums

and galleries. They take part in lectures, readings, and discussions. Students apply their visual and

manual skills to produce several painted works during the course. The course ends with the collabora-

tive production of a show and a ‘book of the show’.

ROMEArt and Archaeology of Ancient Rome

Students gain a solid appreciation of the ancient city of Rome through personal contact – through a

series of roaming, onsite classes at archaeological sites and museums in Rome (including the Colos-

seum and the Forum) and Ostia Antica, the ancient port of Rome. An exciting component of this class

is a 2-day field trip to the Bay of Naples where we will visit Pompeii and the National Archaeological

Museum in Naples. Students keep a regular journal of their personal observations and impressions,

make on-site oral presentations to demonstrate their understanding of these sites, and stage multi-

media classroom collaborative discussions to explore broader related research themes.

In collaboration with UNH, CEA has developed an active learning curriculum as a core principle of the CEA

GlobalCampus Network. Through deep and meaningful interaction with their surroundings, students are able to learn

information in a manner that increases their understanding, retention, and enthusiasm for the topics and themes associ-

ated with their academic courses. The following is just a short sample of how coursework at the CEA GlobalCampus

Network brings the concept of active learning to life.


MADRIDCurrent Global Threats: Different Approaches to Terrorism

Students gain unique perspectives on the terrorist challenges facing Spain from both Basque separat-

ists and Islamic extremists by assessing trends in terrorist group strategies, tactics and targets, and

examining counter-terrorist measures taken to suppress these groups. Students analyze historical and

contemporary terrorism on both the national and international level through examining case studies,

giving them a better understanding of terrorism as an ongoing national security issue.

SEVILLECultural Values & Stereotypes: A Comparative Analysis between Spain and the US

The international setting for this course offers an ideal environment for developing intercultural com-

petency and interpersonal/cultural communication between people of diverse cultures. Through a se-

ries of group activities, observation and interaction with the local culture and guest speakers, students

develop the tools necessary to gain a full understanding of cultural identity, patterns, attitudes, values

and nonverbal behaviors. Through personal and group observation and interaction with the local cul-

ture, students apply these same tools to further their understanding of both the local culture and that

of students of other nationalities living in Seville.

BARCELONAInternational Marketing

Students visit the APM Barcelona Headquarters (Marketing Professionals Association) where they en-

gage in an interactive interview with one of the association’s top executives. After the visit, students

write a two-page report and share it with their classmates. This association includes companies such as

Microsoft, Honda, Nestle, and Danone. With over 1000 members, and 120 collaborating companies,

APM is the most prestigious marketing association in Spain.

Janna Lee Raudenbush

The College of New Jersey

2007 July 4-Week (Art in Paris - 1 Course)

“I was extremely pleased with CEA. The program was ev-

erything I was looking for and more. I would gladly be

a walking commercial for CEA. It was so organized and

catered to our every need, ensuring that we could fully

take advantage of everything the city had to offer. It was

the perfect balance of school work and personal time. We

always knew where to go when we had a problem. All

the extras of the program just made it that much better. I

couldn’t say enough about the wonderful time I had and

how CEA helped it be a reality.”

Esther Morgan

Lake Erie College

2008 Fall Semester (French Language & Liberal Arts)

“The CEA Paris staff was so friendly and welcoming that

they made 6, rue de Braque (the CEA GlobalCampus) feel

like a second home! Whether for class or French tutoring

or an activity or just to say hi, I always looked forward to

going there!! My CEA GlobalCampus class about Impres-

sionism was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I had never

taken an art history class before, but I loved Impression-

ism, and what better way to be introduced to the art his-

tory world than by having classes IN the Louvre, d’Orsay,

l’Orangerie, etc. etc.!”

Notable QuotationsCEA GlobalCampus alumni share their thoughts

Eliza Adelson

Washington University in St. Louis

2007 Fall Semester (Italian Language & Culture)

“The British Institute of Florence in association with CEA

hosted Dr. Carlo Pedretti, Armand Hammer professor of

Leonardo Studies and Director of the Hammer Center for

Leonardo Studies at UCLA at The British Institute. What

makes this sort of analysis so valuable to art history students

such as me is that it reminds us that there is always more to

see, more to link… In plain but eloquent language Pedretti

showed me how to write a cohesive, creative, and interest-

ing analysis of art… Meeting face-to-face with prominent

scholars such as Pedretti reminds students to appreciate

the simple things in art, and particularly in life.”

Riana Wasbin

University of Arizona

2007 Fall Semester (Modern Italian Perspectives)

“Come with an opened mind and be prepared to roll with

the punches. The lifestyle in Italy is a 180 degree change

from that in America... some of it may come as a shock,

while other aspects of it will allow for an easy transition. By

the end of your study abroad experience, expect to have

an entirely new understanding and appreciation for your

host country, its culture, and for yourself. CEA provides

everything you could ever want, need, and hope for during

your study abroad. This program offers incredible opportu-

nities that will result in a life changing experience.”

CEA started in 1996 with one simple philosophy: to pro-

vide quality study abroad education for college students

with service at the core of the organization. Since then,

our vision of innovation and creative global education

solutions has lead to unprecedented growth. At CEA we

always look for better ways to serve the interests of our

students and partners.

Mission Statement

To create and facilitate opportunities for personal growth

and global understanding through quality international

education and cultural experiences.

Cities of Operation

A Model of Growth & Innovation

Since its inception in 1996, CEA has steadily built a foun-

dation for excellence and growth – an investment that has

paid off. Through a commitment to the development of

quality programs, individualized service, and use of inno-

vative technology, our enrollment has increased 3500%

between 1996 and 2007.

Academic Diversity

Taking the best of many educational models, CEA has cre-

ated the CEA GlobalCampus Network, combining aca-

demic excellence, inter-cultural competency, immersion

and international connection. In addition, we are constant-

ly expanding our network of International Partner Institu-

tions to provide students with a local educational experi-

ence. Within the CEA GlobalCampus Network, Academic

Deans and dedicated faculty members are selected based

on their like-minded philosophy of international education,

shared strategic vision, and solid foundation of academic

quality and experience. We at CEA are committed to creat-

ing intellectually stimulating programs and active learning

environments through all of our programming initiatives.

We promote experiential learning, global citizenship, and

the pursuit of life-long learning to help students achieve

their academic, personal and professional goals.

Exemplary Service

CEA was founded on the principle of providing quality

service to students and parents through the entire inter-

national education process, from pre-departure planning

through the return home and beyond. Our regionally fo-

cused University Relations team provides the same level of

service to US faculty and advisors through campus visits,

promotional events for students, and instructional oppor-

tunities for staff and faculty. Every CEA program is evalu-

ated to ensure that we are not only meeting, but exceeding

student expectations. Program components such as advis-

ing, orientation, staff, academic quality, and excursions

are evaluated by pre-departure and re-entry surveys. Our

web-based evaluation system was designed exclusively for

CEA and enables us to continually monitor the quality of

our services and programs.

A History of Innovation

CEA was the first in the field to adopt a comprehensive

internet strategy utilizing web-based student information,

an online application, a live chat feature, podcasting, ac-

cess to dynamic online pre-departure literature and direct

toll-free access to headquarters staff. In addition, each CEA

GlobalCampus facility features modern, fully equipped

classrooms, computer labs, study rooms and library ser-

vices, complete with technology designed to complement

the students’ learning experiences. Our state-of-the-art,

web-based enrollment process gives students access to

their program information 24 hours a day, allowing them to

update their personal information, access data about their

program and submit academic choices and housing pref-

erences online. We have built a digital infrastructure that

allows CEA staff around the world to access this student

information electronically. This helps to facilitate faster and

more efficient communication not only between our head-

quarter office and international staff, but also between the

international staff and our partner institutions, thereby

increasing our ability to provide unparalleled quality cus-

tomer service.

Proven Outcomes

The positive experiences and learning outcomes of stu-

dents are of paramount importance to CEA. Tracking and

measuring student evaluation results enables us to provide

superior quality assurance. CEA students fill out a program

evaluation upon re-entry after their study abroad experi-

ence. This data is analyzed and used to improve the quality

of future service and study abroad programs. We receive

overwhelmingly positive evaluations every year.
