Your Business + Culture program in São Paulo lasts 12 weeks and is designed for students with a background in business. You will enroll in a combination of CIEE courses, host institution courses, and courses taught online through CIEE's global academic partner, ASU, that focus on business. Enhance your experience with co-curricular and extracurricular activities while immersing yourself in Brazilian culture. Live and learn in São Paulo! São Paulo is Brazil’s cosmopolitan city, celebrated for its thriving business landscape and rich cultural heritage.

Immerse yourself in a new language, intern abroad, or explore a different part of the world. CET’s gap programs offer the opportunity to join college-level courses overseas or online. Whether you're mastering Chinese in Beijing, volunteering while living with a host family in Siena, or creating art in a studio in Osaka, CET blends academics with real-world experience. Designed around experiential learning, deep cultural engagement, and academic rigor, CET programs turn education into something more than just earning college credit.

This course focuses on multi-faceted species conservation. We are particularly interested in the next generation of learning programs and public engagement campaigns through zoos and schools in Brazil, the U.S., and other countries. There may also be the opportunity to support the development of a golden lion tamarin park and educational facility in the heart of their range. We will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the “flagship species” approach, well represented by the golden lion tamarins, and explore the next steps. We are delighted to work with our primary course partner, Associação Mico-Leão Dourado (AMLD), a Brazilian non-profit organization that has played a central role in golden lion tamarin conservation. Associação Mico-Leão Dourado is supported in the U.S. by the non-profit organization Save the Golden Lion Tamarin. Before and following the field experience in Brazil, students will complete coursework via Dragonfly Workshops' Web-Based Learning Community as they apply experiences to their home institutions.
