Each year CECAS faculty lead study abroad programs (often in the summer), as well as classes that have a study-abroad component. These programs allow students to enroll in classes at Clemson (thus avoiding any transfer issues). Additionally, these courses provide organized travel, lodging, administration, and excursions, making for a hassle-free study-abroad experience.
