Not only is the number of students participating in study abroad programs increasing at CU, but also nationwide. The report was released at the start of International Education week this week by the Department of State and the Department of Education. Last April, President Clinton announced plans for the week to call attention to the need for federal policy on International Education. International Education and mutual understanding around the globe is important. The university now offers more than 140 different programs in 60 different countries.
Programs cater to a wide range of student interests.
Students can study primates in Panama, learn intensive Russian in St. Petersburg, or attend classes with South African students in Capetown. Staff at the Offfice of International Education are always looking to expand the number and type of programs CU offers. New programs soon to be added to list are in India, Turkey and Cuba. CU is also expanding the number and variety of programs in popular destinations like London and Australia. CU has offered their own study abroad programs since 1962.
