An American Education abroad
This website will introduce you to the possibility of studying in an American college or university around the world.
All of the universities and colleges described here are members of the CIS group of American Colleges Overseas (CIS/ACO).
All offer American style degree programs which carry university level accreditation by one of the six regional accrediting commissions in the United States.
The best of both worlds
All of the institutions listed here offer degree programs that parallel those of colleges and universities in the USA, both in their flexible structures and in their approach to teaching: small classes, high teacher/student ratios, varied and participatory classroom experiences. In addition, American colleges and universities abroad take advantage of their locations in their academic, cultural and travel programs. Their student bodies are very diverse, with students from many different countries and can benefit from a truly international experience.
