Summer/Short-Term Study Abroad Programs: Every summer several Cleveland State academic departments offer summer study-abroad programs led by Cleveland State faculty in several areas of the world and facilitated by CISP. Examples of these include study in India (Social Work), France, Spain, Mexico (Modern Languages), China (Political Science), England and Germany (Business). Contact the department or CISP's study-abroad staff for more information.

Individual Programs: The study-abroad staff can assist students wishing to take part in one of the university-sponsored programs or will assist them in locating a program which will fit academic needs. In most cases, financial aid can be applied for approved study abroad programs and course credits can be transferred in. Students can choose to study abroad for a semester, summer, or a year.

International Internships: CISP offers internships in Germany for business and engineering majors. Information about other opportunities to work and volunteer abroad can be found at CISP and on the Web site.

Scholarships: Students can apply through CISP for study-abroad scholarships. Awards range from $200 to $1,000. The Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs also offers a special minority study-abroad scholarship for up to $500 for summer study and up to $1,000 for semester or year-long programs. In addition, CISP can assist students with applications for national study-abroad scholarship competitions.
