Study Abroad Collaborations
Providing high quality study abroad opportunities and increasing student access to those opportunities are top priorities for CIC universities. CIC's collaborative study abroad programs are customized to expressly meet the academic standards of CIC universities while also remaining cost effective for CIC students. Collaborative programs in Mexico and Quebec offer language and culture curricula, and the CIC program in the Dominican Republic is focused on health and the environment. Fifty-six students from 11 CIC universities participated in these customized CIC Study Abroad programs during the 2006-2007 academic year. Study abroad officers are exploring opportunities for collaborations in new locations and curriculum areas.
In addition to these customized study abroad programs, CIC universities share access to more than 70 study abroad offerings worldwide across the institutions through the Alliances for Expanded Study in Overseas Programs (AESOP). During the academic year 2006-2007, more than 179 students from all CIC universities took advantage of the AESOP offerings. More details on all shared study abroad programs are available in the CIC study abroad online catalog.
