Center for Education Abroad: Arcadia University

CEA: Arcadia University   Arcadia University is a comprehensive, co-educational institution that offers undergraduate degrees in more than 30 fields of study, plus a number of master's degrees, post-baccalaureate certificate programs, and a professional doctorate. The University, which is located in suburban Philadelphia, serves more than 2,700 students annually. Formerly known as Beaver College, the institution converted to university status and changed its name to Arcadia on July 16, 2001. This historic change was undertaken to more aptly reflect the institution's significant expansion in size and range of degree offerings over the last 30 years. Arcadia University is committed to preparing students for life in a rapidly changing global society and has been recognized by the American Council on Education for the innovative ways it has incorporated international activity into its mission, curriculum, and student life. Through the Center for Education Abroad, the University operates one of the largest study abroad programs in the United States. The Center offers access to more than 60 undergraduate programs throughout Australia and seven other countries, as well as access to high-quality graduate programs in several countries including Australia.   Programs The Center for Education Abroad gives you access to many fine study options through its affiliation with an extensive list of respected institutions and programs in Australia.
