Study Abroad with California University CEA/NSE (Cultural Experiences Abroad or National Student Exchange)

There is an excellent program in place at Cal U that allows students to study any semester including summers in countries such as Spain, France, Mexico and Argentina.  The program allows students to take courses at the host university in English, French or Spanish and transfers automatically the credits and grades back to our home institution. Financial aid can be applied to this program.  For more information, go to www.GoWithCEA.com and/or contact the Cal U Study Abroad Program Director, John Watkins at the email or number below.

There is also a National Student Exchange program that allows any Cal U student to study at a selected US national institution of higher learning including Puerto Rico and Canada. The web site is: www.nse.org (National Student Exchange).
