CGIS is available Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm (unless otherwise noted).
CGIS works with various partners and providers on-site to provide U-M students with an impactful international experience while also allowing them to satisfy major/minor requirements at the same time. On top of working with various international providers, CGIS also works with U-M faculty to provide unique custom programs that allow students to study special topics while engaging with communities around the world. CGIS offers opportunities to satsify their LSA language requirements abroad; Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates (GIEUs), which are project-based service learning programs; Global Course Connections, which consists of two components: an on-campus course during winter semester and a 3-4 week off-campus field experience that takes place during the summer; and CGIS customized programs, which are designed to make study abroad more accessible for students with busy schedules during the summer. Explore these options below!
