We’re looking forward to International Education Week (IEW) 2024, November 18-22! IEW is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.

College of the Canyons (COC), a public community college in Southern California, is excited to continue its partnership with Kansai University of International Studies (KUINS), located in Kobe, Japan.

The application for the U. S. Department of State’s 2025 Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program and CLS Spark virtual initiative is now open! We welcome your students to apply this year to learn a critical language on a funded overseas or virtual summer program.

Through the CLS Program, U.S. undergraduate and graduate students spend eight to ten weeks over the summer studying one of a dozen critical languages: Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu. The program is designed to promote rapid language gains through intensive language instruction, host community engagement, and structured cultural activities in a cohort-based setting.

I (Alex) was fortunate to spend a six-week study abroad trip to Japan this summer. For the first two weeks, I attended lecture classes for business, while for the rest of the four weeks, I interned at an international school called “Growing Tree”. Within these six weeks, I was privileged enough to tour a Japanese college, stay with a Japanese family for the weekend, travel to Disneyland, Universal, and Team Labs, and go sightseeing during my spare time. The 500 dollars that was granted to me went to all these expenses.

During the first two weeks of my stay, I attended lecture courses on global business. The professor was a native-born in Japan and had operated in the business world in Japan and the U.S. Her experience brought the class to life.

Greetings from The Forum on Education Abroad!

I am writing to share information about an exciting FREE opportunity for Community Colleges. We recently partnered with The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) to offer the CIBER Consortium For Education Abroad (CC/FEA) to Community Colleges for FREE!

Studying or working abroad can be an exciting and transforming experience, opening your eyes to new languages, foods, music, art, landscapes and architecture. It also places you in daily contact with people who experience and react to life in ways different from those to which you are likely accustomed. You will be experiencing new customs in a new culture and all the wonderful and mysterious intricacies that go along with it, something that is often simultaneously thrilling and daunting.

The Institute of Study Abroad Ireland has shared some opportunities for your college or university that may be of interest- they offer two full online courses, completely free to use, as content, as an element of an existing course, as a new course, as a global studies course, or as an elective / personal enrichment course.
