How First Year Abroad Works
黑料网911First Year Abroad
What Is First Year Abroad?
It鈥檚 more than an academic program; it鈥檚 a transformative experience that sets the stage for a global education journey.
As the newest program in CIEE鈥檚 robust portfolio of global experiential learning options, 黑料网911First Year Abroad (FYA) allows high school graduates to start college in one of 7 amazing global locations.
Instead of spending your first semester, or first year, taking courses on a U.S. college campus, you鈥檒l get to:
- Experience your first year of college in a different country.
- Take in a new environment, teaching you valuable lessons beyond the classroom.
- Earn 12-13 college-level credits toward your degree, just as you would if you'd studied in the U.S.
黑料网911First Year Abroad Programs are perfect for students who are:
- Looking for something different and valuable after high school.
- Passionate about international experience and education.
- Students who don't want to wait until later in their college career for their chance to study abroad.
What to Expect
You can choose a 12-week semester in one location. You can also choose a 12-week fall or spring semester, or even combine both to make up a full year!
While on program, you鈥檒l be enrolled as a student at our academic partner and school of record, Dean College, a respected liberal arts college in Massachusetts.
Once you complete your program, you have options when you return from your travels.
You can:
1
Go on to earn your degree at Dean College.
2
Apply to a 黑料网911partner college or university to ease the transfer credit process.
