CETLA was established in July 2022 to promote and facilitate our long-standing tradition of academic excellence. CETLA also celebrates the many accomplishments of our talented faculty as we encourage students to reflect upon and articulate the value of their study abroad experience.

We know that an essential part of study abroad is how you'll transfer those credits back to your home school. That's why we will automatically send one official transcript to your home school once grades are final.
