Group Site Visit Opportunities

Our group site visits are designed to give study abroad staff and faculty an in-depth look into our programs.

  • Meet with students (if possible) and local staff
  • Learn what goes into a successful faculty-led program
  • Visit housing, internship sites, academic partners
  • Learn how you can customize our programs to fit your university needs
  • Attend lectures on one or two academic foci at the site

Site Visit Inclusions:

  • Full guidance of a CIS Abroad staff member
  • All hotel accommodations are single rooms
  • Most meals (there may be a few lunches or a free evening meals on your own)
  • Excursions
  • In-country transportation

THE FINE PRINT

There is a program fee of $500-$700 for group site visits. Participants are responsible for air travel to and from the host country, visa expenses, and some lighter meals. A limited number of travel grants may be available to help defray these costs for advisors whose travel budgets are limited. You may also apply for a Cooperating Partner Alliance (CPA) Site Visit Grant if this is cost prohibitive to your institution. On the other hand, if your institution prefers to pay for all costs associated with the program, just let us know.

Unfortunately, we don’t allow guests to accompany participants on our professional development and site visit programs. This is in part due to liability concerns and in part due to the dynamics of the programs themselves. We provide a very packed itinerary for the days we are on-site in order to provide you with the most educational, professional, and culturally enriching experience as possible. We are on the go much of the time (with some limited breaks, of course, for you to rest, recoup, and explore on your own!). We suggest that any guest come following the conclusion of the program.
