CCE Semester Study Abroad

Interested in studying abroad? CCE has specifically developed study abroad opportunities at the sites listed below so that students can take coursework there and transfer credits back to Purdue. With such preplanned programs, students can more easily make decisions about planning to study abroad in a Fall- or Spring-semester. Some sites offer Summer opportunities but not all. Please plan to meet with a CCE study abroad advisor to confirm your plans.

The following links will give you a basic overview about each program as well as eligibility, Purdue credit, estimated costs, financial aid, application deadlines and other resources. Eligibility includes a GPA Requirement. CCE prefers that students study abroad in their junior or senior year.

Course transferability options are listed. Please check for new additions every semester. Note: Although substitutions are listed, CCE reserves the right to further evaluate coursework to confirm enrollment priorities.
