Dear students, parents and valued colleagues in the field of education abroad: In the past 12 years, CEA Global Education has helped almost 20,000 students realize their goals by providing the opportunity to experience international education and cultural exchange. During this time, we have been guided by two basic principles: to develop innovative academic options and provide exceptional customer service. We look forward to serving you with the same level of care. We understand that global competency is an important credential in an era of borderless careers. It is also difficult to achieve. Indeed, it is a lifelong journey. That journey begins with studying abroad. CEA has helped thousands of students take that important first step toward true global competency and intercultural understanding. We remain committed to our mission of fostering global citizenship among the students who study in our programs. CEA’s extensive experience as an international education innovator allows us to integrate local resources and cross-cultural learning with broader student goals and a focus on professional preparation. Our unique study abroad curriculum integrates new knowledge, academic collaboration, cultural immersion and hands-on learning methods into a broad and rewarding international experience. Our high-quality, academically sound study abroad options include a diverse portfolio of academic options delivered in fascinating and culturally rich locations around the globe. This is the CEA Advantage. With options in 14 countries worldwide, CEA programs provides students with a course catalog that not only offers a solid foundation for language and cultural understanding, but also serves traditionally underrepresented disciplines such as business and engineering. The range of our academic programs, courses and areas of study expands every year. We are proud to be a leader in helping students acquire the tools and skills necessary to address critical issues of the future. We invite you to consider the many ways in which CEA Global Education can help you to achieve your goals.

Sincerely,

Brian Boubek Chairman & CEO

What our students say

CEA is by far the best program and takes care of students in the best way possible. I have spoken to other students in various programs and they all applaud CEA because they have the friendliest and most reliable staff. They offer around-the-clock service and enjoy helping students. The experience in itself was unbelievable and I accredit that to CEA and the staff. Dana Leone - 2009 Spring Semester, Seville, Spain (CEA Global Campus)

Exemplary Service

Grants & Scholarships

CEA has helped thousands of students realize their goals by providing the opportunity to experience international education and cultural exchange guided by two basic principles: to develop innovative academic options and provide exceptional customer service.

CEA believes that all students can benefit from a quality study abroad experience. In order to make this experience more affordable and available, CEA awarded $975,000 in grants and scholarships for the 2008/2009 academic year alone.

Service is one of the key factors that can make or break your study abroad experience. By its very nature, studying abroad will provide you with a window into different cultural and social norms. However, how well you are prepared for and adjust to the changes that come with your study abroad experience will largely depend on the caliber of service you receive.

Working closely with students and study abroad, international programs and financial aid offices, CEA makes utilizing aid for study abroad a smooth process. CEA has a Financial Aid Coordinator that will work with a student’s financial aid office to determine the amount and types of aid a student can receive for his/her program.

CEA was founded on the principle of providing outstanding service throughout the entire international education process from predeparture planning through your stay abroad and even after you have returned home. Our regionally focused University Relations team also provides the same level of service to U.S. faculty and advisors through campus visits, promotional events for students and instructional opportunities for staff and faculty. Every CEA program is evaluated to ensure that we are not only meeting but exceeding expectations. Program components such as advising, orientation, staff, academic quality and excursions are evaluated by pre-departure and re-entry surveys. Our Web-based evaluation system was designed exclusively for CEA and enables us to continually monitor the quality of our services and programs.

When financial aid questions arise, CEA answers by providing advice and guidance through a Financial Aid Coordinator. All students have the ability to utilize this resource while navigating the different options to finance their study abroad program.

Apply for a CEA Scholarship CEA awards $52,500 in scholarships each year to students studying on semester, trimester, year and summer programs. Scholarships are open to all CEA program participants that meet the eligibility requirements. To learn more about obtaining a CEA scholarship, visit www.GoWithCEA.com/Scholarships

Something for Every Major Study abroad isn’t just for language students and international studies majors anymore. The expansion of the global marketplace requires graduates of all majors to possess a higher level of global competency and awareness. CEA Global Education continues to develop programs focused on providing students with essential skills in an immersive international setting. We pride ourselves on not only offering excellent program options in the traditional areas of language and culture, but also in typically under-represented disciplines such as engineering and business.

CEA currently offers courses in fields of study including, but not limited to: • • • • • • •

Multiple Sessions to Choose From CEA provides you with a variety of choices when it comes to choosing your study abroad program session. We understand that not all students are the same, and not all students have the same needs. At any time during the process, you can go online to chat, or you can call and speak with your CEA Admissions Counselor. He/she will help you determine which options and programs are right for you.

www.GoWithCEA.com | 1-800-266-4441


Semester, Trimester and Year-long Programs

Summer Programs

Spending a semester, trimester or year abroad certainly has its advantages. Extended daily exposure and immersion in a foreign culture help you achieve a higher level of global competency. A longer program provides you with the time to explore and become familiar with the intricacies and subtle differences of your host culture.

Summer might just be the perfect time for you to explore the world around you while simultaneously earning credits toward the completion of your undergraduate degree. Programs vary in length from two to eight weeks, and offer a wide range of course options. CEA offers summer options in all of our program destinations, with the exception of Australia.

Short Term Programs Maybe your academic schedule or budget doesn’t provide you with the opportunity to study abroad for an entire semester. CEA offers programs that can still accommodate your needs. Our short term options include J-Term (January) and Maymester programs, as well as additional 2-Week and 4-Week sessions that occur throughout the year.

Internships

Currently these programs are available in:

CEA internships are available for academic credit in:

Planned CEA Global Campus Sites • Sydney, Australia

What is the CEA Global Education Network? The CEA Global Education Network represents a new approach to international education. The Network, which includes CEA Global Alliances, Global Campuses and Global Partners, is designed to meet specific learning objectives by offering international education that meets rigorous academic standards. The variety of programs is deliberate to reach a wider demographic of students, ensuring that the advantages of study abroad are accessible and tangible to a greater number.

CEA Global Alliances CEA Global Alliances create unique programs with outstanding academic institutions that are themselves leaders in global education. This collaboration combines the strengths of CEA’s global education management with the academic strengths of an institution firmly rooted in the local culture but also welcoming to today’s global student. These alliances combine the values of a Global Campus through a partner institution, and fuse it with the core mission and services for which CEA is known.

CEA Global Campuses The Global Campus is a unique feature of the CEA Global Education Network. The campuses offer an extensive, learner-centered curriculum taught by selected faculty, trained in the method of active learning for which the CEA Global Campus is known. Classrooms, online library access and support services are all under one roof. Developed to provide a challenging, borderless education, the campuses’ academic programs showcase global competence curricula and intercultural learning for today’s student.

CEA Global Partners

CEA University Relations Schools and Universities can contact CEA’s University Relations team by phone at 1-877-449-2775

12

CEA Global Partner programs are developed with strong academics and taught at some of the most prestigious universities and institutes around the world. To ensure academic quality, we only partner with academic institutions that are recognized either in their host country or in the U.S. CEA continues to handle the onsite services, such as housing and excursions, but trusts the education to our Global Partners. This allows CEA to offer programs across disciplines in 14 countries.

www.GoWithCEA.com | 1-800-266-4441


The CEA Global Campus Advantage What makes the experience at a CEA Global Campus different? • Study abroad destinations located in global power centers and historically rich cultures • Centrally located campuses allowing greater access to housing, public transportation, city events and venues for experiential learning activities • Facilities equipped with leading-edge technology and outfitted to foster interactive and collaborative learning • L earning that transcends the classroom and utilizes the host culture and city as an integral part of the learning platform • Focus on intercultural competence as a hallmark of global citizenship • Consistently designed and supported policies and facilities throughout all Global Campus sites

Academics CEA Global Campus programs foster the acquisition of new knowledge and global competency, and forge perspectives that will shape students’ personal lives and professional careers. Our goal is to offer programs that are responsive to both our students and our colleagues with North American institutions of higher education. Our programs are all learner-centered, interdisciplinary and intercultural in design. Our academic offerings reach beyond traditional fields of study to include specialized courses on such current relevant topics as: • • • • • • • •

Sustainable development The global economy and global governance Changing identities in a global world Communication, technology and society Global health Human rights World religions Conflict and conflict resolution

The curriculum throughout CEA’s Global Education Network is focused on two main objectives: developing intercultural skills, and respecting and engaging the local culture. There is no educational experience comparable to direct experience with a city’s historic sites, local language, global business enterprises, modern media, unique architecture and artistic expression. Learning in this “living classroom” is the key to true global awareness.

Learn More The CEA Global Education Network is an innovative approach to developing and delivering a high quality education focused on the value of global competency. It allows CEA the flexibility to create curriculum to the highest standard of U.S. accrediting bodies as well as to create alliances with premier educational partners around the world. This unique program sets CEA apart.

CEA GLOBAL EDUCATION NETWORK

Faculty CEA’s academic strength is anchored in the quality of our faculty. In addition to advanced study, training and extensive teaching experience with U.S. students, over 40% of the faculty at the CEA Global Campuses hold a Ph.D. In addition, they successfully integrate the host city into the classroom learning experience. Faculty at the campuses undergo particularly rigorous evaluation as to their instructional effectiveness, are held accountable to specific learning objectives and are mentored by the onsite academic leadership team. Five integrated layers of faculty assessment provide both qualitative and quantitative information drawn from student and peer evaluations, which are shared directly with instructors to improve effectiveness and quality. The five levels of faculty assessment are: • • • • •

Class observation Faculty & course evaluation Faculty self-assessment Faculty development report Faculty performance review

University of Record The University of New Haven (UNH) in West Haven, Conn., acts as the University of Record for all CEA Global Campus sites and other select programs within CEA’s Global Education Network. The partnership between UNH and CEA follows best practices in education abroad and satisfies the requirements of UNH’s institutional accreditor, the

Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHE/NEASC). Through this relationship: • CEA Global Campus courses are designed in conjunction with, and approved by, UNH • All Global Campus faculty members meet UNH standards for appointment • UNH academic leaders perform rigorous site visits to all Global Campus sites • A UNH transcript is made available to all CEA Global Campus students and other select programs within the network

CEA’s Academic Team CEA’s academic team is led by the Vice President for Global Education, who provides academic vision and strategy in collaboration with experienced staff, as well as Academic Deans and distinguished faculty at program sites around the world. This team is responsible for hiring, training and evaluating the teaching staff at all Global Campus sites. Bringing their collective experience on university campuses in the U.S. and abroad, these international education leaders shape the rewarding and challenging academic experiences of CEA students. The academic team also works closely with Alliance institutions to support their curricular innovation and to facilitate the recruitment of U.S. and Canadian students to their campuses. Academic programs offered by our Global Partners are evaluated regularly by the academic team.

Transfer Credit

Volunteer Opportunities

The transfer and application of academic credit is ultimately decided by your home institution. To assist in this process, we provide important information such as detailed course descriptions, contact hours, syllabi and recommended credits for individual courses. CEA Site Specialists stand ready to assist with additional questions regarding credit transfer on an individual student basis. Over the years, we have worked with over 1,000 colleges and universities across North America to successfully translate and transfer credit for coursework completed on CEA programs.

Our volunteer opportunities promote the discovery and exploration of the values of a host culture through important interaction and collaboration with local residents on important projects, initiatives and services.

Experiential Learning Intercultural competence is a critical aspect of the study abroad experience and often manifests itself through immersion in a local community. CEA recognizes the importance of reinforcing academics with cross-cultural activities and excursions that provide ample opportunities for close and meaningful encounters with another culture through the following:

Active Learning Example in Buenos Aires Dictatorship and Democracy in Latin America Military dictatorships and populism have characterized many Latin American regimes and nowhere more intriguingly than in Argentina. This course will look at the factors that have led to the seizing of power by armed forces, their performance in office, the process of ending their regimes, and what becomes of these military leaders after they are out of office. The return from dictatorship to democratic governance and consolidation presents its own set of challenges, which have been well illustrated in the case of Argentina. In addition to examining what politicians, scholars and activists have to say about these issues, students in this course will have the opportunity to meet with populist leaders as well as their opponents. This course also includes visits to places of interest such as the Congress and political party headquarters, and include conversations with representatives from the local media. Students will have various hands-on opportunities to go out into the community and study the themes associated with dictatorship and democracy.

Iguazú Falls One of the Natural Wonders of the World, Iguazú Falls has been declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Bordering three countries - Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay - the falls officially belong to Argentina. Four times the width of Niagara Falls, Iguazú Falls is spread in a horseshoe across 2,700 meters (1.67 miles). But the sheer size of these falls means nothing until this panorama is experienced in person. From the National Park of Iguazú, one can hike to many of the amazing falls, natural pools, outlooks and catwalks that extend right into the path of the falls. It is from here that the true meaning of the word “iguazú” - great water - is understood.

And the city of Cairns is a perfect location from which to explore, making your curriculum even more relevant against the backdrop of the incredible surrounding areas.

If you’re studying Marine Biology or Environmental Studies, excursions to Green and Fitzroy islands are ideal for making relevant connections to your studies.

The Viña del Mar Experience Viña del Mar is truly an amazing place to learn Spanish. Lying along the seemingly endless coast of Chile, Viña is very conveniently located to allow visitors the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent natural wonders that the country has to offer. Santiago, the capital, is a short drive away as are the ski slopes of Valle Nevado high up in the Andes Mountains. Viña provides the best possible stepping point into a semester or summer of language and culture study in Chile. An array of museums, theaters, cathedrals, shopping, cafes, restaurants, pubs, discos, beaches and parks, as well as events all around the city will give you the opportunity to experience life Chilean style. While not a cosmopolitan city, Viña attracts Chileans from all over the country. Because of the relaxed atmosphere of this beach city, Chileans know Viña as a great place to escape with the family from the daily grind as well as to enjoy the fresh seafood dishes it is known for (try the ceviche). Chile, known for being geographically one of the longest and most narrow countries in the world, stretches across almost half of the South American continent. As a result it has a great many things to see and experience. The country’s topography ranges from high mountains and arid deserts to beautiful beaches and lakes. CEA makes it easy for you to experience it all by offering you many opportunities and excursions to get to know the country and its culture. Viña del Mar and Chile will provide an unforgettable experience for any student wanting to study Spanish and learn about Latin America first-hand.

The Shanghai Experience The largest and most populous city in all of China, Shanghai exudes ancient cultural traditions, dynamic arts and architecture and cutting-edge technology and business development. Shanghai is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, with over 20 million inhabitants. Located on China’s central eastern coast at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Shanghai rose in importance originally from the fishing and textiles industries, both of which still play prominent roles today. The city flourished as an important center of commerce between the east and the west, and has become a multinational hub of finance and business. Its relatively new reputation as a cosmopolitan center of culture and design has led to Shanghai being described as the “showpiece” of the world’s fastest-growing major economy. Students studying History or Culture take part in such traditional Chinese ceremonies and practices as the Chinese Tea Ceremony.

Active Learning Example in Shanghai Imperialism, Revolution & Modernity This course adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Shanghai as a microcosm of China. The city exemplifies the social consequences of economic change, embodied most recently by the emergence of the new entrepreneurial elite, the small but growing middle class, and the large “floating population” of rural migrants illegally residing in the city. Taking Shanghai as the basic unit of study, students explore the connections—both physical and imagined—between the city and its history. Students visit significant locations around the city, including the Bund and the foreign concessions, the site of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Pudong economic zone. These explorations, led by specialists in the history of Shanghai, help the student confront historical developments with real immediacy - as well as provide context for the understanding of evolving urban spaces.

The San Jose Experience The city of San Jose is guarded by majestic volcanoes and green hills that radiate the natural beauty of the diverse country of Costa Rica. One of the most unique features of studying in San Jose is your exposure to areas representative of practically every climate and ecosystem, as the territory extends from almost sea level at several points near the central Pacific coast up to the country’s highest peak, Mt. Chirripó, at an elevation of 3,820 meters; and down to the very wet eastern slopes of the Central Volcanic Cordillera in a section of Braulio Carrillo National Park. San Jose is a breathtaking area of the world. There are few other locations where you can experience critical lessons in Preservation and Environmental Studies as well as in Business, Economics, Political Science and Social Justice. Attend the Costa Rica International Arts Festival, where the rich and diverse program includes parades, music, dance, theater and film. Cultural Studies majors will not want to miss the Dia de los Boyeros, in the town of San Antonio of Escazú, a fascinating, colorful parade of oxcarts, competitions and a traditional “blessing of the animals” ceremony. Costa Rica’s Independence Day is an opportunity for History students to see the real manifestation of their classroom curriculum ― nearly all celebrations include a parade in which regional schools perform the national anthem, carry the Costa Rican Flag and twirl batons.

The Prague Experience In Prague, old-world charm meets a hip, contemporary urban atmosphere. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Prague offers centuries of history as well as innovative art and music. You will explore the cultural and artistic expression of the ages through Prague’s beautiful architecture. Sometimes called the “sleeper” of Europe’s post-Cold War cities, Prague boasts a dynamic commercial and artistic culture, world-renowned for its ever-changing opportunities. As a CEA student, experiential learning is nurtured within your program’s curriculum. Designed to help you make relevant connections between the subjects you’re studying and Prague’s position on the world map, you’ll participate in exclusive activities that are learner-centered and culturally rich. If you’re an Anthropology major or just a history buff, your textbook comes to life at the Burning of Witches, an event celebrating the old pagan tradition of welcoming spring through bonfire gatherings and live musical concerts. Unique events such as the International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary or the Summer Shakespeare Festival are ideal, real-world stages for you as a Film or Media Studies student. Architectural and Engineering theory is given context by visiting and studying first-hand, such extraordinary masterpieces as the Wallenstein Palace, the Charles Bridge and the Belvedere Summer Palace.

Studying abroad in Prague is an experience I will never forget. Looking back, I enjoyed the language barrier and the intensity of differences to that of my home country, as it taught me to be less of a talker and more of a listener/observer. I was given the chance to witness the aftermath of a country that is trying to built itself up from Communism – a historically tied opportunity that I feel few get to experience. Further, Prague was a great place to meet people from all over the world, and has great proximity to other countries as far as travel is concerned. CEA’s Prague program I would recommend to people who don’t want their study abroad program to overshadow their experience. CEA is always there when you need them, but gives you the space to discover and explore, which I enjoyed. Kelly Russell - 2008 Fall Semester (Liberal Arts & Social Sciences)

Cockney For Beginners Ask an American friend to ‘pop the hood’ and it is understood; ask an English person the same thing, and they might look at you as if you had just landed from another planet. Spending time abroad not only broadens your horizons, but also your language skills and vocabulary. Different dialects, expressions and phrases all contribute to the richness of the English language, and London is certainly no exception. This fact is most evident in the wayward accent known as Cockney. To truly be considered Cockney the speaker is supposed to be born “within the sounds of the Bow bells,” or no more than three miles from St. Mary-le-Bow Church in the Cheapside district of London. However, Cockney encompasses more than just one’s origins or the distinct accent – it also has its own set of slang. Known as rhyming slang, it was created by thieves and those afoul of the law to communicate with one another without the authorities knowing what they were saying. To make a Cockney rhyme, the word you want to say is replaced with a word or phrase that sounds similar. As if this weren’t confusing enough, part of the rhyming phrase is dropped so that it becomes a sort of code. For example, “trouble” rhymes with “Rubble,” as in “Barney Rubble”; therefore, instead of saying “Stay out of trouble,” a Cockney might say, “Stay out of Barney.”

The Aix-en-Provence Experience Often referred to as the “city of fountains and light,” Aix is one of the most beautiful and liveliest towns in the south of France. You’ll undoubtedly feel the essence of one of Aix’s most favored sons, Paul Cezanne, who seems to have painted the city in all of its aesthetic loveliness. The bustling daily outdoor markets, the open air concerts and cultural events, the busy student nightlife and the nearby Mediterranean coast and French Alps all make Aix-enProvence a perfect study abroad destination year-round. You’ll have every opportunity as a CEA student in Aix to get involved and develop hands-on experience. Fine and Performing Arts students will find out-of-the-classroom opportunities to hone their crafts, whether it be studying oil painting under the tutelage of a local artist or studying theater with an Aix native. Architecture and Religious Studies students will particularly enjoy the excursion to Avignon, where you will visit the Pope’s Palace, the largest Gothic palace in Europe, as well as the nearby Pont du Gard, built shortly before the Christian era to allow the aqueduct of Nîmes to cross the Gard River. Biology or Environmental Studies will come alive through an excursion to the Camargue, home to more than 400 species of birds as well as the famous white Camarguais horses.

The French Alps Experience As a CEA student, stand on the spot where Roman engineers built the city’s first bridge more than 2,000 years ago. From this vantage point, a glance in any direction will reveal peaks rising into the distant sky, where you can explore endless mountain trails while gazing down at the city below.

The French Riviera Experience Located in the south of France on the Mediterranean Sea, the French Riviera is at the crossroads of Italy, the Alps, Monaco and Provence. It is one of the most stunningly beautiful areas of the country, boasting a sub-tropical climate, sandy beaches, vineyards and an average of 300 days of sunshine a year. Sophia Antipolis itself was founded as a modern research park, bringing together research, technology and business with cultural and social modernity. This program provides CEA students with the chance to study in a modern seat of technology and business while living in the charm, culture and sophistication of the French Riviera. Students of History or the Arts will relish the opportunity to participate in an excursion to Grasse, the center of the perfume industry since the Renaissance. Film, Music and Performing and Media Arts students can view their crafts in motion during a visit to the “star” of the French Riviera, Cannes, world-renowned for its International Film Festival. Follow the footsteps of Matisse and Chagall in Nice, the largest town on the Riviera, and walk along the famous Formula 1 racing track in the glamorous principality of Monaco. Or simply get away from it all on a trip to the charming perched villages of Eze or Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Cannes Film Festival CEA students studying on a Spring program have an exclusive opportunity to participate in an internship at the Cannes Film Festival. Go online to learn more! Known throughout the world for its annual international film festival, where movie stars and other celebrities shine, Cannes is probably the most glamorous spot on the French Riviera. Le Festival de Cannes (the Cannes Film Festival) began in 1939 and has since become the “granddaddy of all film festivals.” This prestigious event is renowned not just for the critical role it plays in launching careers and movies, but for defining art in cinema. The festival is held annually for two weeks each May at the Palais des Festivals, with the 63st celebration set to be held May 2010. Although thousands of films are screened during this time and over 200,000 people flood the event, it is predominately reserved for professionals in the film industry and the press. However, as a CEA intern at the festival, you may find yourself face-to-face with some of the world’s biggest stars.

The Paris Experience One of the great cultural and intellectual centers of the world, Paris is said to be the heart, soul and imagination of its nation. It also stands tall as thea administrative, commercial and industrial center of France. Renowned for its intellectuals, artists, writers and revolutionaries, Paris represents the perfect combination of tradition and modernity. As home to French haute couture, a rich and varied cuisine, and internationally renowned landmarks and museums such as the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, this fashionable capital is among the most vibrant and intriguing in Europe. Continued innovation and trendsetting art, politics and commerce extend Paris’ influence well beyond its borders. Paris was host to the first CEA Global Campus site, which opened its doors to students in 2005. Curriculum comes to life through real-world experiences and professionally focused active learning opportunities. Diversity is celebrated at CEA’s evening at the Paris Mosque, where students experience a historical Mosque and its remarkable mosaic walls and gardens. An Islamic specialist will discuss the symbolic significance of the decoration and the Islamic rituals that have influenced its architecture. Fine Arts students enjoy visiting Giverny, whose museums trace Monet’s life and whose gardens continue to reveal inspiration for his work; while History students benefit from visiting Reims, whose Cathédrale Notre-Dame was the stage for crowning French kings from Clovis to Charles X.

Human Rights: Universal Principles in World Politics

• Art History

Focusing on the ever-present threat to international human rights law and the many victims of the abuse of state power, activists from Amnesty International (AI) meet with students to discuss the principles, methods and experiences of human-rights defenders as they confront ambassadors and officials of rights-violating states. Students visit the French chapter of AI to meet with researchers and volunteers engaged in documenting human rights violations, drafting emergency appeals and organizing demonstrations. Students in this class organize and run, in conjunction with AI youth programs, a branch office for student activism and volunteer service. The legal/institutional approach to human rights is a subject students address directly at UNESCO headquarters in Paris. Students are given the opportunity to challenge state representatives and UNESCO officials on the resources of UNESCO human rights budgets and on the response to human rights violations of many of the organization’s member states.

The Berlin Experience Berlin, the capital city and one of the 16 German states, is lively and dynamic, with countless cultural, political and commercial events taking place around the clock. Berlin boasts three opera houses and hundreds of theaters, museums and galleries. It is one of the most influential centers in European politics, culture and science, and the city serves as an important hub of continental transportation. Berlin’s economy is based on the service sector, encompassing a diverse range of media and life-science corporations, convention venues, research institutes and creative industries. With CEA you will not only tour Berlin by bike, visit flea markets and attend the world-famous Berlin Beer Festival, you’ll become a part of this city steeped in truly transformative political history. Starting from the Allied Checkpoint Charlie to the Brandenburg Gate, you will follow the route of the famed Berlin Wall and learn the history of the country’s 28-year separation. Instead of simply reading about it, you will come to understand why the Wall was erected, how it fell and how Berlin is dealing with the scars of its past. Religious Studies and History students will make emotional, real-world connections to their curriculum by touring the city’s traditional Jewish quarter. Traces of the old Jewish community can be found by visiting the New Synagogue, galleries of the Jewish Renaissance, and the Holocaust Memorial.

The Rome Experience Rome is called the Eternal City, and has enjoyed an almost uninterrupted history of global power and cultural leadership for more than two millennia. Today “Roma” is also a hub of contemporary culture, cuisine and fashion, and is one of Europe’s major capitals of politics and commerce. As a student at the CEA Global Campus in Rome, you have many exclusive opportunities to take your learning a step further. Instead of just reading about the history of the Catholic Church, visit the Vatican and talk with church leaders and theologians about the history and future of their institution. Rather than merely exploring textbook principles of human rights, meet face-to-face with immigrant leaders and state officials to discuss the tensions and challenges of global migration and ethnic minorities. Perhaps one of the most important weeks of the year in Rome is Holy Week, for which the Pope leads the procession for the “Via Crucis” on Good Friday through the streets of Rome to the Coliseum, where he greets the crowds waiting for him. It is a dramatic event that History and Religious Studies students will not want to miss. History, Political Science and Sociology students all find unique parallels to their lessons by celebrating the Festa della Repubblica and attending the grand military parade in honor of the founding of the Italian Republic after World War II.

The Barcelona Experience Barcelona is a city unlike any other, gracefully bridging tradition and contemporary life. From its bustling central boulevards and stylish modern streets to its revered architecture and user-friendly urban design, Barcelona is a mecca of preservation and renovation, combining the charm of its medieval Gothic quarter with its awe-inspiring surrealist facades. Barcelona, CEA’s most popular Global Campus site, has been prominent in the geo- and socio-political systems that have defined Spain and its autonomous regions for centuries. The autonomous community of Catalonia, of which Barcelona is the capital, has a complex and historical identity. From its first independent establishment to the long period of domination by Castile, and even during the Franco dictatorship, it proved impossible to stifle Catalan ethnicity. Barcelona has long been at the forefront of Spanish political activism and is one of the most dynamic and prosperous commercial centers in all of Spain. Catalonia continues to evolve with the arrival of large numbers of immigrants from Asia, Africa and South America. As a CEA student, you will have unprecedented access to activities that will deepen your understanding of the culture, politics, economy and history of this incredible city.

Nestled on a hill at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the Alhambra has watched over the city of Granada since the 9th century. Considered to be Spain’s most important architectural monument, it is an expansive castle that housed Granada’s rulers for more than six centuries. It was originally built as a fortress, strategically placed to overlook the valley below, and its name, Alhambra, actually comes from an Arabic word meaning “red fort.” The original structure, however, was expanded through centuries of different rulers, leading to a fascinating blend of contrasting architectural styles found throughout the complex. Today, the Alhambra is made up of three distinct sections: Palacios Nazaríes (Royal Palace or Nasrid Palaces), the Gardens of the Generalife and the Alcazaba, which is the original fortress. The Alcazaba, the oldest and perhaps most primitive of the three sections, boasts the most spectacular views of the mountains, city and outlaying valley below. The Generalife offers tranquil gardens filled with shaded walkways, patios, fountains, flowers and lush vegetation. The Palacio Nazaríes, however, is the architectural highlight of the entire structure. Made up of a complex series of rooms and courtyards, its ceilings feature finely knotted wood and elaborate honeycombed stucco, while the walls are intricately carved with Arabic poetry and scripture or are beautifully tiled in ceramic mosaics. The patios incorporate water, an important element in Arab culture, in beautiful fountains and reflecting pools. The Alhambra must be experienced first-hand to truly understand the impact of its beauty. It has been said that those who can only visit one monument in Spain should make it the Alhambra. A single visit can make anyone find themselves promising to return again someday.

CEA Granada is the most culturally eclectic experience that a young person could undertake. The infusion of culture, the diverse landscape and its position in Spain all give it qualities that give it the accessability of a metropolitan city but the quaintness of a small town. If you want to learn the Spanish language, I would definitely recommend going to Granada, and if you enjoy the arts, I would recommend going to Granada, and if you enjoy the nightlife, I would go to Granada. Basically, Granada is one of those places – at first you’re cynical of it because of the extreme cultural adaptation, but then you grow to love it passionately and by the time you have to leave, you feel as though you are leaving a part of you there. I think everyone should go there just once, because it is more different than any city you’ ll ever find. Tiffany Meier - 2008 Fall Semester - Early Start (Spanish Language & Culture)

The Madrid Experience Madrid is a regal, modern and progressive capital city. It´s a city of aesthetic intrigue, where tall, glass skyscrapers rise above historic royal palaces and lush, open-air parks. Madrid´s many museums and art galleries provide a feast for modern culture lovers. The city has history rich in political development and a prominent significance in modern-day Europe. It has undergone many alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries, which are reflected in a mixture of architectural styles, political ideologies and historical landmarks. As one of the CEA Global Campus sites, Madrid becomes a “living classroom” as we take you from the textbook curriculum into the real world of this magnificent capital city. For students majoring in History or Political Science, your guided tour of the Royal Palace, including the armory and pharmacy, will bring your textbook studies to life. An academic excursion to the neighboring city of Toledo gives Literature students access to one of the greatest literary settings of all times, the capital of Castilla-La Mancha, the land of Don Quixote. There is perhaps no better example of Medieval architecture for students to experience than that of the two incredible cities of Avila and Salamanca. You´ll learn first-hand about preserved treasures such as the 11th century stonewalls encircling Avila, and the many striking Baroque sandstone buildings of Salamanca.

The Seville Experience Seville is one of the most beloved, mystical and quintessentially Spanish cities in all of Spain. It lies in the region of Andalusia, and was a cultural epicenter even before the centuries-long Moorish occupancy. Seville’s charming character is legendary, and it is known for its comfortable size, its many Spanish traditions such as bullfighting and flamenco dancing, incredible cuisine, colorful festivals and celebrations that take place all year long. Your experience in Seville – one of the CEA Global Campus sites - will be marked by active learning and hands-on curriculum. History and Cultural Studies students will find an academic excursion to Cordoba to be fascinating, as you explore famed sites such as the Alcazar, the world-famous Mezquita, the Moorish mosque and neighboring Cathedral, the lively Andalusian traditions of flamenco and bullfighting, and the old Jewish quarter, where a synagogue built in 1315 is located. Performing Arts, Music and Dance students will see their studies come to life through taking in a Flamenco show in the Triana neighborhood in Seville, often considered the birthplace of flamenco. Perhaps the most emblematic symbol of Spanish culture and considered to be a dynastic art form, the Flamenco is passed down and developed from generation to generation. You´ll learn all about the importance and meaning of this dance to Andalusia, Spain and the world over.

Current Global Threats: Different Approaches to Terrorism

• Anthropology

Students gain unique perspectives on the terrorist challenges facing Spain from both Basque separatists and Islamic extremists by assessing trends in terrorist group strategies, tactics and targets, and examining counter-terrorist measures taken to suppress these groups. Students analyze historical and contemporary terrorism on both the national and international level by examining case studies, giving them a better understanding of terrorism as an ongoing national security issue.

In particular, and with respect to housing, I acknowledge and understand that I am solely responsible for my own possessions and safety of those possessions and, that CEA is not responsible for theft or burglary of my possessions, nor is CEA responsible for lost or misplaced possessions of mine at any time. I also acknowledge that it is my sole responsibility, relating to my personal possessions, that I inquire from my insurance company, whether any particular property or rental insurance policy I maintain or that are maintained for me, cover my possessions, will be valid in the location of my study abroad program, and if not, that if I wish for my possessions to be insured, that it is my sole responsibility to deal with insurance providers who will cover my possessions in the location of my study abroad program, and it is my sole responsibility to understand, make available, or obtain coverage for my personal possessions in the location of my study abroad program. 6.

CEA reserves the right to obtain records pursuant to this release, within the applicable period, in the event of ambiguity of information, disputes or unanticipated or unusual conduct exhibited during the Program. 8. I will comply with all CEA’s Policies, including its rules, standards, instructions and practices for program participation behavior, including housing.
