Who we are

CEPA Study Abroad is a U.S. based study abroad organization that partners with schools to develop and run custom faculty-led programs in over 40 countries. CEPA was founded in 1997 and operates study abroad programs across Europe, including European Study Centers in France and Germany. Our main administrative offices are in Besigheim, Germany and Strasbourg, France. CEPA also partners with the CEPA Foundation to provide service-learning opportunities in Costa Rica, Peru, and Guatemala, programs that align with our organization’s commitment to environmental and humanitarian engagement.

We are a small marketing team, very much mission and values driven, focused on building collaborative relationships and providing meaningful and challenging study abroad programs that enable students to broaden their global perspective, deepen their knowledge, and develop personally and professionally. We are committed to social responsibility and environmental sustainability and have been offsetting our carbon footprint since 2019.

CEPA Study Abroad joined Terra Education in 2026, giving the organization the opportunity to expand its study abroad programs to additional destinations outside of Europe, working alongside our colleagues at Terra who have long-standing expertise in Africa, Asia and Central & South America.
