First-Year Students

First-Year Students can now apply for an additional $300 scholarship for course abroad programs! You could get up to $800 in scholarships to study abroad.*
*Scholarships are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The reasons to study abroad are numerous. Having an international experience will allow you to see the world, broaden your experience, and gain a new perspective on your own country. Take control of your own future and improve your professional potential by becoming globally competent.

Courses Abroad

Courses Abroad are intense, short-term, credit-bearing university classes that are taught by CCSU faculty and are offered in Winter Session, Summer Session, and embedded in full-semester Spring courses, where the travel component occurs either over Spring Break or in early Summer. Working in close cooperation with a growing number of CCSU academic departments, the Center for International Education (CIE) offers a variety of Course Abroad programs annually. Many programs offer courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. 

Semesters Abroad

If you are interested in spending a full semester or an entire academic year abroad, CCSU students have many options. There are three types of full-semester programs: CCSU Partnership and Exchange Programs, Other Approved Programs (Third Party Provider Programs), and Study Abroad on Non-Sponsored Programs. When a student studies on a CCSU approved program, they maintain their financial aid and courses count as in-residence.
