Center For Global Education

Welcome to the Center for Global Education! Our goal is to support UCM's commitment to cultivating a global perspective by bringing UCM to the world and the world to UCM through Study Abroad programs, Exchange opportunities, and English language instruction. 
 
The Center for Global Education (CGE) is home to the Study Abroad office, the English Language Institute, and several services for international students.
 
Most inquiries related to international students should be referred to the Office of International Student Services in Ward Edwards. Their contact information is included on the left side of this page.

About Study Abroad

  • Choose from over 60 countries and hundreds of courses to fit your major or minor. Time commitments can vary from as little as two to three weeks, or up to a full academic year!
  • The experience is affordable, as scholarships and grants are available, and many programs are comparable to the cost of attendance at UCM.
  • CGE is passionate about helping our students receive an essential part of their education here, by learning and growing in a different country.  
  • Stop by the Elliot Student Union, room 302 to learn more about our study abroad programming.
