Study Abroad Program Overview

Experience the world on one of CCSU's Study Abroad Programs! There are two kinds of programs available to you.  You can gain cultural insight while living and studying along with students of your host country for a full semester or academic year while earning CCSU credit.  When you study abroad at one of Central's partner universities, in most cases, you pay tuition, fees, room and board to CCSU and the credits earned abroad, although they do not calculate in the GPA, are counted as residency credit at CCSU, not as transfer credits.  Or, choose a short-term international experience and enroll in one of CCSU’s Courses Abroad, taught by CCSU faculty.  Explore CCSU’s many programs throughout the world – there is one right for you!
