Center for International Education

The Center for International Education (CIE) knows that a strong global perspective is critical to a complete, well-rounded undergraduate experience. The center is committed to ensuring that Central State University students graduate with the skills that will enable them to participate fully in an increasingly globalized and interdependent world. To achieve that, the center initiates, coordinates, plans, and implements different types of study-abroad programs and experiences. The center also provides Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVIS) services to international students.
