Programs

Madrid

Summer program options in Madrid are expanding!  A new 4-week program will be available starting in June 2025, and course options include Mass Media & the Fashion Industry, Spanish Civilization & Culture, Sustainable Development and more! Moreover, we're continuing to add new semester course options at the CEA CAPA Madrid Study Center to meet the needs of a variety of academic majors.

Dublin

Dublin is pleased to introduce a new Theatre Arts summer program for theatre majors.  Unlike most programs, which are focused exclusively on performance, theatre students in Dublin will choose to focus on either acting or technical theatre.  Participants from both groups will join together to create a final performance showcase at the end of this 6-week, 6-credit program. The program is also offered in the spring semester where students will find the Irish cultural theme of storytelling woven throughout expanded course offerings in Business, Communications, and more.

Prague

CEA CAPA is pleased to add Charles University to our Prague portfolio. In this hybrid program, students will have access to courses in arts, history, and politics, and more via the Eastern and Central European Studies (ECES) program. Students will round out their semester with an expanded course list at the CEA CAPA Study Center - with course additions in business, communication, psychology, and urban studies, there are more choices than ever in Prague.  

In addition to the new Charles and Study Center options, CEA CAPA will continue to offer existing programming with Anglo American University and the University of New York in Prague.  We are simplifying program names and reducing the number of offerings to make advising and program selection easier. 

Sydney

We’re pleased to feature three new program opportunities at the University of Sydney. Students are now able to select from curated course lists in Psychology, Environmental Studies, and Design Thinking. Students will round out their semester with electives at USYD and an Engaging Australia course taught at the CEA CAPA Study Center. 

Quarter-Friendly Program Options
San José: Winter Quarter Intensive Spanish

Students looking to develop their language skills during the Winter Quarter can take our new January/February Intensive Spanish language offering with Veritas University. Students enroll in two intensive Spanish courses and will earn a total of eight semester credits. This program is available for all language levels.

Winter Quarter Programs in Prague & Sydney

CEA CAPA is proud to announce two new Winter Quarter programs at the CEA CAPA Study Centers in Sydney and Prague starting in January 2025.  These programs were developed in collaboration with several key partners and are tailored to complement the academic calendar and offer unique study abroad opportunities during a period that's traditionally been underserved.  

Program features include: 

  • Program dates that run early January to mid-March, making them perfectly aligned with the winter quarter.
  • A variety of course offerings that align with a range of majors and academic interests.
  • Ability to take 3 – 4 courses, earn 9 – 12 semester credits, and maintain financial aid eligibility.
  • Two exciting destinations!  Students can swap the winter chill for a summer in Sydney or enjoy Prague's magical snowy vistas while remaining on track for graduation.
Internships in London and Prague

London and Prague each offer an internship program option with a later summer start. The internship is accompanied by the Global Internship Course to help students learn how to articulate the value of their internship through the lens of NACE Career Readiness Competencies. A wide range of internship career fields are available including business, communication, design, performing arts, political science, and more!

Global Business Consulting

CEA CAPA is proud to offer a career-focused course in our semester and summer portfolio. This hands-on course places students into small consulting teams to engage in project-based learning with business enterprises abroad. In addition to weekly class instruction, students meet regularly with clients to generate solutions to real-world business problems. Students complement the Business Consulting course with additional electives. The course is available at our CEA CAPA Study Centers in the following locations, with each offering a different emphasis:

First Year Experience Abroad

We are exited to offer FYE Abroad programs in Seville, Florence, Prague and Dublin. Rooted in U.S. higher education best practices, first-year experiences are valuable high-impact practices that set U.S. institutions apart while supporting student development and academic success. By partnering with CEA CAPA, U.S. institutions have access to our cohort model in which institutions share courses, housing, and co-curricular programming with other first-year programs. Whether it's for the fall or spring semester, we are here to help you make your institution stand apart. Click here for more information.


Locations

CEA CAPA is excited to present our unified programming in Barcelona, Dublin, and Florence. Our programs in these locations provide the same level of academic quality with unique active learning experiences and robust student services while offering students an even greater depth of course offerings as well as expanded internship placement opportunities. For questions about our new naming conventions or for assistance with program advising, please contact your Institutional Relations representative.

We’re pleased to continue offering programming in CEA CAPA’s latest locations: Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Budapest, Hungary. Programs feature robust course options – taught in English – in a variety of disciplines, including business, computer science, STEM, humanities, as well as opportunities to be immersed in courses with local and international students
