PCIEP offers study-abroad programs to U.S.-based colleges and universities. Our programs are located in:

PCIEP conducts a mandatory pre-departure orientation session for all the students. This orientation covers several topics and issues to enable students to learn what to do on arrival, help them adjust well to your new campus and surroundings, become familiar with local cultural norms, and get over jet lag.
