Summer Programs

The International Office proudly offers a variety of summer programs annually in collaboration with our international partner universities. Through the summer short-term programs, CUE students have the opportunity to travel, learn, and explore global culture together as part of the extracurricular programs beginning in mid-late May ending in late August.

Students from across CUE spend 2 to 8 weeks at our international partner universities and participate in classwork on topics including from language and literature, business and management, public and global health, global topics and trends, biotechnology, and more. The programs combine learning with travel and fun, giving students an opportunity to experience different cultures and societies.

Please check this page frequently for updates of exciting summer programs, or contact the International Office for more information.
