Study Abroad at CBS
Each year, CBS welcomes a number of visiting students from around the world to its program. Most of the students who visit CBS to study for a semester or two are enrolled in colleges and universities in their home country. There are also a large number of international students who choose to receive their entire education at CBS and enroll in the full BA and MA programs. Currently, students from more than twenty different countries study at CBS.

As a visiting student at CBS you will be allowed to take courses from all years in the BA program so that you can put together a course of study that best suits your academic interests and needs. If you are already a graduate student, you may also join the courses offered in the MA program, provided that you have the necessary prerequisites to follow those classes.
 
Accreditation
If you are already enrolled in a college or university program and consider spending a period studying abroad at CBS you should discuss your plans with the international office at your university. A professor from your department might also be able to help you. In some cases you may be able to receive advance accreditation of the CBS courses you are planning to attend.

All courses at CBS are widely accredited and whether you enroll for a single semester or for a full year, your course credits from CBS will be easily transferred to your home university. So far, since its beginning in 2002, CBS has had courses accredited at a number of universities, including:
  1. Austin College (US)
