history, politics, culture, media and art of the region, comparing that to
the international landscape. Students may select from the following
options:
-- International Business

As part of an exclusive network, students have unfettered access to CEA
GlobalCampus libraries and learning resources, as well as leaders of local
businesses and organizations, such as Boeing, Airbus, Amnesty International
and UNESCO.
In addition to CEA's proprietary courses offered directly to students
through the network, CEA has built the Paris facility as a resource for
other higher education institutions to host their own study abroad
programs.

Seville, Florence and Rome.
