Academic and professional excursions
carefully selected guided visits, lectures, and meetings
Meaningful, flexible, and affordable
Creating a faculty-led program is a journey which begins well before you ever arrive at your destination.
We aim to understand the learning objectives unique to your courses and together, create customized study abroad programs to reach those goals.
With years of experience organizing faculty-led programs throughout Europe, we can offer innovative ideas and quality services to maximize your program’s quality and value.
Destinations and travel routes – two key elements of your program
Depending on your subject area, certain locations might be more suitable than others in terms of attractiveness to students, cultural offerings, overall costs, safety, and travel time.
Talk with us about your ideas! Through our experience, expertise, resources, and local partners we will help you make the best choices.
Faculty-led programming across the globe
In 2018, CEPA partnered up with three other like-minded and value-driven organizations in the field to form a consortium – the Global Learning Collective (“The Collective”).
