Know what you're looking for?
The first step in the process of studying or interning abroad is to find a program that fits you. Know that you want to study business, but not sure where? Know you want to intern in your chosen career field, but having trouble finding a program with flexible placements? Search what’s most important to you.
A few recommendations to get you started:
Semester on the Italian Coast
There's something a little mystical about Sorrento, Italy, a beautiful town hugging the cliffs that overlook a fishing port and Mt Vesuvius. Located just 20 miles south of Naples, Sorrento is known as the gateway to the…
Intern in Dublin
Whether working with an Irish football team, a large multinational organization, or a local refugee center, you'll gain practical career experience while interning in Dublin. During CISabroad's Intern in Dublin program, you can choose from our Summer…
Semester in Madrid
Artistic masterpieces, delicious tapas, wide plazas, charming locals, and a city that takes off after the sun sets: this is Madrid. Prepare to be in awe—that is, until you settle in and make this city your own.…
So how will studying or interning abroad actually help you?
STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
So you’ve made it this far and you want to know what study and internship abroad are all about? Your experience abroad will place you within the 10% of students in the U.S. who study abroad during their college career. An even smaller number have international internship experience after they graduate. Be a part of that sought-after group!
JUMPSTART YOUR CAREER
Students who studied abroad find employment more quickly than their peers post-graduation and see more long-term impact to their careers. If you study abroad before you graduate, you’re twice as likely to be employed 6 months from graduation and on average, you’ll earn $7,000 more per year.
CHALLENGE YOURSELF
The intrapersonal skills (self-insight) that you will gain from an experience abroad will change you for the better. Students who have returned from our programs will invariably tell you about what they learned about their own strength and resilience while living overseas, as well as the lifelong friendships they’ve forged.
Here’s what folks are saying about us…
This experience allowed me to gain independence. It also allowed me to learn about cultures and increase my love for traveling.
CISabroad created a comfortable and eventful atmosphere. This program opened my eyes to the world and allowed me to grow comfortable in my own skin when placed in new surroundings.
Without a hint of reservation, I’d recommend a semester abroad to anyone. It has been one of the biggest highlights of my life. Don’t hesitate to apply now!
Staff Spotlight: To know us is to love us
We’re a group of passionate, helpful, and experienced people who love what we do. It shows in the dedication we bring to working with students like you. Most of us have had a study abroad experience, and some of us even have graduate degrees in international education. Many of us have lived and worked abroad, and all of us have traveled abroad. Our experiences have changed us in so many positive ways. Oh, and we’re also super fun to work with!
Travel Tip: Expect the unexpected. Expect your plans to change. Stay flexible and laugh. Always laugh. Even when you cry, find the laughter.
Travel Tip: Whether ordering from an open air stall or a restaurant, always remember to say good day (dobrý den) and thank you (děkuji). Czechs will welcome your effort and will be more helpful and perhaps even give you a smile.
Travel Tip: Bring a reusable water bottle! It will help you stay hydrated and keep your energy up whether you’re exploring a new city or relaxing on the beach. And best of all – it will help you save money to spend on experiences and be kind to the earth!
