Spring 2021 Info

Charging Into Fall 2021

It appears that with widespread availability of several highly effective COVID-19 vaccines, we can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. To that end, we have spent considerable time planning for the Fall 2021 semester. We are looking forward to being able to return to many of our pre-pandemic norms in terms of class formats, student life, and other staples of the University of New Haven experience.

Fall 2021 Planning

School of Record for CEA

In 2006, University of New Haven President Steven H. Kaplan and CEA CEO Brian Boubek signed an agreement through which the University of New Haven became CEA’s "school of record." Through this partnership, students who complete courses at CEA Study Abroad Centers – located in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Dublin, Florence, Paris, Rome, Seville, and Shanghai – earn University of New Haven credits on University of New Haven transcripts.

Criteria for faculty hire, course design and approval, course credit and grading, and student assessment are consistent with those on the University of New Haven campus and with the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHE/NEASC), which approves the School of Record agreement. In addition, a standing University of New Haven committee reviews and approves:

all faculty and directors at CEA’s eight Study Abroad Centers;
all CEA Study Abroad Center courses taught by CEA staff; and
all significant course modifications.

CEA produces a self-study for each Study Abroad Center on a fixed schedule, followed by a rigorous on-site team review conducted by the University of New Haven and utilizing (as of 2011) an external evaluator.

In partnership with CEA Study Abroad Centers in Italy and Spain, the University of New Haven is a member of the Association of American University Programs in Italy (AACUPI) and the Association of North American University Programs in Spain (APUNE).

As of 2015, CEA successfully completed the Quality Improvement Program (QUIP) through the Forum on Education Abroad and were found to be meeting the Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad. CEA's QUIP recognition highlights their commitment to enhancing academic integrity, improving local operations and international programming, continual compliance, and ongoing evaluation of policies and procedures.

The University of New Haven is proud of its partnership with CEA, and pleased to extend the academic rigor of our West Haven, Connecticut campus to CEA Study Abroad Centers, a special manifestation of University of New Haven’s global reach that benefits all students.
