CIEE faculty seminars are more than guided tours. They are intensive educational experiences designed to explore fascinations, challenge preconceptions, and open eyes to global issues shaping the world today. Each program features lectures, site visits, and discussions with overseas academics and colleagues. Participants return to campus poised to incorporate an international dimension into administration, course design,research, and teaching.

Faculty and administrators from 2- and 4-year institutions are welcome to apply. We trust that you will share this information with colleagues who,like yourself, are interested in internationalization efforts on your campus.
