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.
Global Campus in Seville
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.

With a population of less than one million, Seville offers a small-town feel compared to Madrid and Barcelona. Located in Southern Spain, Seville is considered the guardian of all that is traditional Andalusian culture. Seville has a very centralized historic district, the largest in Europe, which is very pedestrian friendly. Students can experience the Roman, Islamic and Christian remnants that embellish southern Spain: archaeological sites, Cathedrals, Mosques, Palaces, and Gardens. The Global Campus in Seville offers interactive curriculum designed to incorporate the local culture through class visits to the abovementioned landmarks, as well as attendance of cultural activities including soccer matches, bullfights, festivals and flamenco shows.

Faculty Snapshot: Your Local ColleaguesDan Serradilla Avery teaches Christian, Muslim & Jewish Heritage in Spain at the Global Campus in Seville. As part of his course, he takes students to the newly created Inquisition Museum, giving them an eerie, unique setting to observe the harsh reality of history. As a complement to their reading of the Treatise of Ibn Abdun, Mr. Avery also takes his class to the different locations mentioned in the work. At the Jewish Quarter, the students will not only learn about the events of 1391, but also hear firsthand how Spaniards today see their own past and heritage. In 2008, he received the ABD status after submitting a thesis, titled Urban Conflicts in the High Middle Ages, at the University of Pablo Olavide, where he has been teaching at the International Center since Spring 2009. His MA in Philosophy in Medieval History is from the University of St. Andrews.
