The Council for Opportunity in Education believes international experiences are crucial to helping students understand themselves and the roles they can play in the development of their society and the world at large. This belief is related to their charge of helping students to overcome class, social, academic and cultural barriers to higher education. For the last 11 years, COE has developed and coordinated short-term, accredited study abroad programs in Europe and Latin America for low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities who participate in the federal TRIO programs. These experiences increase student engagement in their academic and career-related pursuits and make it more likely that they will be retained and succeed in college.
