Highlights

Dundee (population 150,000), the "City of Discovery," is located in eastern Scotland at the mouth of the River Tay estuary. Its magnificent riverside setting makes it a perfect touring base for Fife (historic towns such as St. Andrews), Perthshire, and Angus, with the countryside and the Sidlaw Hills just a short drive from the city center. It also offers access by train to the two major cities of Glasgow (90 minutes) and Edinburgh (75 minutes). Dundee's historic past and its thoroughly modern new image sit easily together, making it a warm and welcoming city. The large student population, together with a wide variety of recreational and cultural attractions, lend Dundee a young and lively atmosphere.

College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS)'s Mission Statement

The College Consortium for International Studies, a partnership of colleges and universities -- two and four year, large and small, public and private, domestic and foreign -- encompasses the broad spectrum of international higher education. CCIS members sponsor a variety of programs, notably study abroad programs and professional development seminars for faculty and administrators, which are designed to enhance international/intercultural perspectives within the academic community. Recognizing the value of such experiences in fostering global understanding and peaceful cooperation among nations in an increasingly interdependent and rapidly changing world, CCIS is committed to developing international dimensions as an integral part of collegiate education. CCIS works to build collaborative arrangements among institutions who share this commitment, and to facilitate linkages between member institutions and international partners. In all of its programs and activities, CCIS strives for a high level of academic excellence.
