About Study Abroad

• Choose from over 60 countries and hundreds of courses to fit your major or minor. Time commitments can vary from as little as two to three weeks, or up to a full academic year!
• The experience is affordable, as scholarships and grants are available, and many programs are comparable to the cost of attendance at UCM.
• CGE is passionate about helping our students receive an essential part of their education here, by learning and growing in a different country.
