New Affiliate Partner!

CIEE is now an affiliated partner with Education Abroad starting Fall 2013! CIEE offers programs all over the world catering to various academic disciplines including (but not limited to) Public Health, Business, Engineering, and Humanities. They also have several merit and need based scholarships! As a Maryland Student you will also be automatically considered for a special Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) Scholarship JUST for Maryland Students participating on select CIEE programs! Ask your advisor about CIEE programs that can work for you! 

Education Abroad is updating our application and selection process for study abroad, beginning with Summer 2013 programs. UMD semester and short term programs will now adhere to fixed deadlines for all study abroad and scholarship applications. Under the new policy, late applications will not be accepted. Students must complete their applications on or before the published deadlines.

Admission to all programs, including those with limited space, will be determined according to the merits of individual applications rather than the timing of their submission. Therefore, while we encourage early applications, students may not be informed of their admission status until approximately two weeks after the announced application deadline for programs and scholarships. For more information contact educationabroad@umd.edu.
