The Center for Global Education promotes international education to foster cross-cultural awareness, cooperation and understanding. Living and working effectively in a global society requires learning with an international perspective.

We promote this type of learning by collaborating with colleges, universities and other organizations around the world to:

• create new and enhance existing study abroad programs;
• integrate an international and intercultural perspective into the US educational system;
• increase the ethnic diversity of participants in study abroad and provide special resources to support their participation;
• provide information to better prepare students and other travelers for their experience abroad; and
• encourage research in the field of international education.
