Level of Support

While all CU Ed Abroad programs offer support, they vary in the level of pre-departure and on-site assistance available to students. 

Our Program Search includes a filter to help you find programs based on a certain level of provided support. 

Below is a breakdown of what those options mean. Note there will be variation within each level as well. For example, a program with 30 students may be able to provide more individualized support than a program with 300+ students.
