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.

Madrid Global Campus

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.

Known for its innovation in art and culture, Spain’s capital also boasts an abundance of opportunities to engage the lifestyle of a true madrileño. Students can spend their days exploring Madrid’s magnificent and historic architecture of the Royal Palace, Santa Cruz Palace or the Telecommunications Palace. Or check out the Temple of Debod, a 2,000-year-old gift of the Egyptian government. Just steps from the Triangle of Art – Prado Museum, Reina Sofía Museum and the Thyssen Museum – students can study the artistic trends that have inspired so many, from classical Velazquez, Goya and El Greco, to Picasso and the most shocking vanguards, such as Miquel Barceló.
