Program Highlights

You’ll begin your semester in London, spending the first three weeks with fellow students in CIEE’s Global Gateway Academy.

In Paris, you’ll take in-person classes like Smart Cities, Mixed Media Arts, and French Language & Culture alongside online courses through ASU Prep Global.

CIEE changed my life, it opened up so many new doorways and connections. I've met some of my closest friends on program and had the best time ever. I had a lot of memorable experiences, but I loved going on vacations with my host family and doing activities with my friends and club at school!
