The Center for Global Education encompasses the Center for International Studies
(CIS) and the Center for International Students and Scholars.
The Center for International Studies
The Center for International Studies (CIS) was established to serve as a hub for
Tulane's international partnerships. CIS maintains a portfolio of high-quality
study abroad programs that increase students' knowledge and ability to function
as responsible citizens in an international/global environment while ensuring that
study abroad is an equitable endeavor that accommodates the broadest
constituency possible.
The CIS sponsors over 70 study abroad programs for undergraduates in Europe,
Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In addition, both graduate and
undergraduate students can take advantage of a variety of faculty-led summer
study abroad programs focused on special topics. Tulane University partners with
top overseas universities and international institutions to make the highest quality
overseas educational experiences available to its students. The range of subject
matter reflects the particular opportunities and scholastic strengths available in
each location. Language instruction is an integral part of the programs in non-
English-speaking countries.
