HERE’S WHY

“Studying abroad has allowed me to grow as a person. I have conquered fears, experienced new things, tried new foods, and met wonderful people who helped make my experience unforgettable. I am more confident in myself and the person that I want to be in the future.”

Ashlyn H, Environmental Science, Texas A&M University, Semester on the Gold Coast - Bond University

“Navigating everything on my own in a new country not only taught me to be self-sufficient and resilient, but also broadened my horizons and thought process by introducing me to people from all over the world. I was able to strengthen my critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and adapt to different cultures and scenarios, which I believe is increasingly important in this global business world.”

Anamitra M, Finance, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Semester in Thailand - Mahidol University, 2024

We spark growth. In the last 25+ years, we’ve sent more than 25,000 students abroad. We envision a more connected and compassionate world transformed through individuals who have traveled, lived, and learned abroad.

“During my stay in Barcelona with CIS Abroad, I was in charge of rebranding eRoots Analytics, an energy consulting startup with projects across the globe. With the help of my coworkers and supervisor, I was able to get a survey of this dynamic and growing sector along with a peek at the inner workings of the international business world. An internship abroad was a great experience for me and I would recommend it to anyone with the opportunity to go.”

“CIS Abroad planned a trip for our group to Orvieto for a weekend. It was one of my favorite things I have done so far. We got to make pasta dough and fully immerse ourselves in Italian family home culture.”

Through the course, I broadened my awareness of everyday cultural differences between the U.S. and Spain, thought about the challenges that I experienced abroad and the grit that I gained from adapting to unfamiliar situations, and learned how to embrace cultural differences.”
