CEA Global Campus in 

Connecting Students to International Higher EducationBecause education shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all, we’ve developed a robust catalog of diverse study abroad program options to better meet the needs of today’s universities and their students. Our Global Education Network comprises three well-defined learning environments, each contributing distinct advantages that together offer college students greater depth of choice in study abroad programming and services.

Global Campus in Barcelona

Greater Control, Maximum FlexibilityThe Global Campus model was designed to meet university faculty and advisor needs by establishing greater control of curriculum and educational space abroad. We work with university faculty to design courses that fit your institutional goals, and continually assess our programs via direct feedback from the universities we serve. Our campus locations are selected for ease of access to the local community, both its historic and contemporary culture, and equipped with the technology students require today for academic success. The Global Campus model is characterized by:

• Engagement with the local community through academic partnerships, shared programming, and service initiatives

• A focus on creative collaborations with U.S. colleges and universities

• U.S.-style academic calendar or specialized schedules

• Courses taught in English, as well as in the host language

• Curriculum designed around CEA’s “active learning” model to take learning beyond the classroom and into the city

• Rigorous external oversight of faculty hiring and curriculum development

• Management by highly qualified and locally knowledgeable academic and administrative staff, trained in the best practices in education abroad

Global Campus

Our signature, purpose-built learning environment is designed to engage students directly in the local culture.

Global AllianceThis new model of international higher learning reflects academic integration and collaboration with an international institution rooted in academic integrity.

The Global PartnersWe strategically choose these local institutions of higher learning to provide complementary, culturally immersive programs through direct enrollment with a local and/or international student body.

The second largest city in Spain and CEA’s most popular destination, Barcelona combines the charm of its medieval Gothic Quarter with the awe-inspiring modernist architectural facades and stylish modern streets to offer you a truly unique international experience. The city offers a glimpse into the geo- and socio-political systems that have defined Spain and its current autonomous regions for centuries, including the region of Catalonia. CEA students will have endless opportunities to engage in Barcelona’s multicultural lifestyle through the works of Picaso and Dali, the Fundació Miró and the Caixa Fòrum on the Montjuïc Mountain. They will see first-hand what makes this city a catalyst for art, music and visual cultures through its contrasting styles of architecture, including medieval Gothic cathedrals and Gaudi’s surreal buildings. Explore the outdoor markets, flower vendors and sidewalk cafes along Las Ramblas, the city’s famous tree-lined promenade.
