CIEE is the leading U.S. non-governmental international education
organization. CIEE creates and administers programs that allow high school
and university students and educators to study, volunteer, work and teach
abroad.
Into the chilly postwar world of 1947, CIEE launched the next generation of
study abroad programs, the first since they’d been suspended during World
War II. Senators and scholars worried about how to increase international
understanding and establish trust between nations. As soon as there was
enough capacity aboard trans-Atlantic ships to carry students, CIEE programs
began teaching.
Today, CIEE is composed of three interrelated but operationally independent
entities based in Portland, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; and Tokyo, Japan.
Our membership continues to grow.
Among many activities, CIEE administers 95 study abroad programs in over
33 host countries and teaching programs in Chile, China, Spain, and Thailand.
Educators can participate in 26 summer seminars in 29 countries.
Our 50 U.S. specialists, many of whom have studied or lived abroad can
advise you how to choose a host country and program that fits you. We also
have English-speaking staff members at all of our program sites overseas.
They'll help with any problem — academic, administrative or day-to-day —
and give you insider tips on the city and country.
Who could argue? We need understanding and trust more than ever today.
Gain that understanding, build that trust on a CIEE program.
