Cultural Experiences Abroad (CEA) was founded in 1996 to provide international education opportunities for U.S. and Canadian college students of all language levels and majors. Today, CEA sends thousands of students on study abroad programs at multiple universities in 15 countries including Argentina, Australia, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa and Spain.
The mission of CEA is to create and facilitate opportunities for personal growth and global understanding through quality international education and cultural experiences. To do this, CEA focuses on the 'service first' experience, which includes providing personal attention to students before, during and after their experience abroad.
Working closely with study abroad offices and international programs departments, CEA has also successfully established 125+ affiliate relationships with colleges and universities around the country, providing more options and greater access for students to study abroad.
For the second year in a row, CEA has been ranked as one of the fastest growing organizations in the U.S. on the prestigious Inc. 500 Award List, published by Inc. Magazine. CEA was also the recipient of the ACE Award, recognized as the 13th fastest growing organization in Arizona, and has twice been presented with the American Marketing Association Award for "Best Printed Collateral" for the Academic Program Catalog.
In a span of ten years, CEA has emerged as a leader in the field of study abroad, recognized for offering superior service and quality programs to students, parents and university advisors. With a proven method, CEA has grown to over 80 staff worldwide to service the needs of enrollment growth, exceeding 30% each year. CEA is excited to be a part of making study abroad more accessible to students.
