Programs Abroad for International Students
We are operating programs in Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City, and Shanghai in fall 2020 for international students unable to return to the U.S. In Spring 2021, we will add Florence, Italy and São Paulo, Brazil to our portfolio of offerings for international students.
These in-person, residential programs offer students the opportunity to take CET-taught undergraduate coursework, take classes with our host institutions (in select locations) for a wider selection of course offerings, and receive academic support for taking online courses at their home institution.
