The Yale College Center for International Experience (CIE) has made changes to the website, and implemented some new software, to make finding information about all aspects of international experience much easier.

You might visit the new website, which features:
Search International Opportunities (STUDIO ABROAD) - Students can now search for opportunities through CIE, including 200+ study and internship programs abroad that Yale administers.
Apply for International Opportunities- Beginning in December, students will also be able to apply for summer and academic year opportunities through the CIE website.
“MyCIE”- When they apply for summer 2009 and academic year 2009-2010 experience, students will create a “MyCIE” account that will save and store their application information. Students will also receive guidance pre-departure through this application.
Peer Advising program- Each Residential College has a Peer Adviser to serve as the point-person for their fellow students with questions related to all of Yale’s international opportunities.
Sustainability Abroad- Resources for students going abroad, and a framework in which to consider not only environmental sustainability, but also socio-cultural and economic.
