Summer Session I is not open to UO students, as it overlaps with the end of spring term. Please note that finals week conflicts with the start of session II of the CIEE program. If you are interested in session II, please consult with your spring-term professors. Consult with your GEO Study Abroad Advisor before starting an application.
If you are interested in applying to a CIEE program, we strongly advise you to meet with an advisor prior to applying.
Selection for the program is based on a review of your written application, recommendation, transcript(s), and completion of the interview process. Qualified applicants are recommended by a GEO Study Abroad Program Advisor. The final selection of participants is made by CIEE.
