As you and your child "shop" around for a study abroad program it is important to find the right fit for your personal needs. In a survey of our alumni, the following points came up time and time again when we asked them, "Why did you choose CIS?”
Low cost, all-inclusive package
All our program packages include tuition, housing, medical and accident insurance, on-site orientation, airport pickup, travel and visa advice, official university transcript, and carbon offsetting of round-trip international flight. Because we use local staff and resources, we keep costs low.
Available 24/7
We pride ourselves on the peace of mind we provide both you and your child. Our site directors, on-site contacts, and 24/7 emergency line ensure that any overseas issue is handled immediately.
Quick application turnaround
We’re the fastest in the industry. You’ll almost always hear back within two business days.
Committed to helping all students get overseas
Whether your child has a hard-to-find-abroad major, has questions on financial aid and scholarships, has a learning or physical disability and wants some advice on a program, or has any other special need or circumstances, we’re here for them. And, if you have questions, we’re here for you too! Call us, chat with us, e-mail us; we’re available to help in any way we can.
Popular, academically-rigorous, and safe locations
Our program locations are carefully selected to ensure that they are located in popular countries, they are intellectually challenging and culturally stimulating, and, most importantly, stable and safe. All of our program locations are recognized as a safe destination by the US Department of State.
