THE KEI DIFFERENCE
WHY
?
KEI was founded on the belief that education abroad should be attainable for all students regardless of their academic focus,
professional interests, foreign language proficiency and financial means. Our core values of access to education, global participation
and cultural understanding are integral to all KEI programs.
ACCESS TO EDUCATION
GLOBAL PARTICIPATION
CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING
AFFORDABLE PROGRAMS
MAJORSPECIFIC COURSES
REGIONAL STUDIES & EXCURSIONS
We strongly believe that finances should
not be a deterrent to education abroad.
KEI offers affordable, comprehensive, high
quality programs. Scholarships, grants and
payment plans are available. Students from
state universities and small colleges account
for 80% of our participants.
We don't just say it we do it. KEI
offers more courses in more academic
concentrations than any other study abroad
organization. Majorspecific course are
complemented with general education,
regional studies and foreign languages.
KEI facilitates cultural awareness and
understanding through a required regional
studies course that combines classroom
instruction with outofclass activities and
field trips to culturally and historically
significant sites. Excursions are an integral
component of the KEI program.
PERSONALIZED SUPPORT
KEI offers internships, research and
community service at most program locations.
Internships and research have a minimum
commitment of 120 to 240 hours, awarded
3 to 6 credits and organized with companies,
notforprofits, medical clinics and host
university faculty. Community service
is not for credit, but offers a flexible
volunteer schedule.
Students come first! We take the time
to get to know students as an individual,
including their academic and personal
interests. Small program sizes allow us to
offer personalized advising and support
before, during and after the program.
DIVERSITY
We welcome students from diverse
backgrounds, which reflect the ethnic and
cultural complexity of our world. To this
end, KEI partners with many Historically
Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs),
as well as other minority serving institutions
and funding organizations. More than thirty
percent of our participants are African
American or HispanicAmerican.
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
NO LANGUAGE BARRIER
Knowledge of a foreign language is
not required to participate on a KEI
program. Courses are taught in English.
Some programs offer additional courses
taught in the host language. Internships,
research and service can be arranged in
English or language of the host country.
1
FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Studying a foreign language is one
of the best ways to learn about a culture.
KEI offers intensive courses in critical
languages such as Arabic, Hindi, Japanese,
Mandarin, Russian, Swahili and Turkish as
well as modern languages such as Spanish
and French. Students can earn 3 to 12 lan
guage credits per term, depending on their
interests, academic needs and availability.
INTEGRATION WITH LOCAL STUDENTS
KEI integrates program participants
with students from the host university in
courses, internships and housing (when
possible). That means more interaction
with local students and the community,
better language acquisition and enhanced
cultural awareness.

AUSTRALIA
Australia teems with natural and cultural
treasures. Trekking around majestic Uluru,
spotting wildlife in tropical rain forests,
surfing and wind sailing on the coast, snorkeling
and scubadiving on Great Barrier Reef are only
a few examples. But there's more to life down
under than outdoor activities. Cosmopolitan cities
like Brisbane have thriving art scenes, shopping,
dining and entertainment to enjoy.
WHERE WILL YOUR
MAJOR TAKE YOU?
CHINA
ECUADOR
Chinese civilization is one of the world's oldest.
China's traditions, music, art and architecture are the
result of 3,000 years of heritage. China is home to some
the world’s most revered treasures, such as the Great
Wall and TerraCotta Warriors. Contemporary culture
in China is a mix of ancient traditions, welcoming
attitudes and optimistic future. China has one of the
fastest growing economies, improving the lives of the
world’s largest population.
The Republic of Ecuador is characterized by geographic
and cultural diversity. Bordered by Colombia, Peru and
the Pacific Ocean, the country spans the Northern and
Southern hemispheres with the equator running
through the center. Ecuador has 1,600 species of
birds, 25,000 species of plants, 106 endemic species
of reptiles, 138 endemic amphibians and 6,000 species
of butterflies. Its cultural fabric is just as diverse as the
flora and fauna.
ENGLAND
FRANCE
With a mix of ancient ruins and advanced technology,
centuries of formal traditions and the birthplace of punk
rock England is a blend of history and culture. Pubs stand
next to trendy restaurants and serve as meeting spots for fans
before they catch a cricket match or brave the crowded
stadiums for a game of footy. With all the action in
the cities, you can easily forget the natural beauty
of the English countryside, where visitors can hike,
bicycle or even spend time surfing at the shores.
France is a diverse country, with a proud cultural
heritage. Each region looks and feels different, having
its own style of architecture, its characteristic food
and often its own dialect. The French take pride in
their culture, sophistication, language and diverse
accomplishments in literature, arts and sciences.
Even French cuisine and fashion have long
been a source of national pride.
8
INDIA
IRELAND
India is a mystical land with unforgettable experiences and
contradictions. Ancient palaces, monuments and temples stand side
by side with high rise buildings, chic boutiques and swanky bars. India's
booming economy ushered in an era of prosperity that
gave rise to megacompanies, financial institutions and
Bollywood. Yet, one third of the population still lives
under the poverty level. India has been at the center of
education since ancient times, but many of its people
have not completed primary education.
“The Emerald Isle,” as the Republic of Ireland is
often called, is famous for its vast green landscape
and warm, funloving people. The Irish are well
known for their friendly hospitality and interest
in newcomers. The pub culture, or craic, is
center to Irish society. Pubs serve as meeting
places for the local community and are often
the venue for political debates and improvised
music sessions.
ITALY
JAPAN
We may think of Italy as a place with a long history, but
the country is actually quite young. Unified in 1861 from
a variety of warring kingdoms, citystates and republics,
Italy took its presentday shape. The Renaissance is said
to have begun in 14th century Italy and spread throughout
Europe and the rest of the Western world. Nearly every
artistic movement since then has had an impact on Italy.
Today, tourism, fashion and automotive industries
remain the pillars of the Italian economy.
Japan is a nation made up of 6,852 islands with almost all
of its population living on the largest four: Hokkaidō, Honshū,
Kyūshū and Shikoku. The Japanese pride themselves on staying at
the cuttingedge of technology while maintaining
close ties to their cultural roots. Japan is the
birthplace of traditions studied and enjoyed all
over the world, including sushi, origami, kabuki
theater, sumo wrestling, Geisha culture and
various martial arts disciplines.
KENYA
PERU
From its discovery as the birthplace of humanity to its
colonial era and independence from Britain in 1963 to the present
day, Kenya has a long and fascinating history. Kenya’s moderate
temperatures attract a multitude of birds and big game, making it
the most diverse wildlife refuge in Africa. The country’s
two official languages are English and Swahili.
However, most Kenyans associate themselves
with specific tribes, many of which have their
own language.
The Republic of Peru is characterized by cultural and
natural diversity. The Peruvian population, estimated
at 29 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians,
Europeans, Africans and Asians. The mixture of
cultural traditions has resulted in a wide array of
expression in art, cuisine, literature and music. The
main language is Spanish, although a significant
number of Peruvians speak Quechua and other
indigenous languages.
SCOTLAND
RUSSIA
Scotland is the smallest country in the United Kingdom with
a population of 5.3 million. Despite its size, Scotland offers many
treasures such as unique foods, St. Giles Cathedral, Urquhart Castle,
the Highlands, glens, isles and fascinating
wildlife, including otters and whales.
Most famous for its bagpipes and kilts,
Scotland also produced philosophers,
industrialists and scientists David Hume,
Francis Hutcheson and Adam Smith.
The Russian Federation is the largest and one of the most
diverse countries in the world. Russia is often associated with its
European cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg. However, there is
much more to Russia. The country spans eleven time zones and two
continents, ending less than 50 miles from Alaska.
Within this vast expanse lie the largest freshwater
lakes in the world, rivers and forests teeming with
fish and wildlife, awe inspiring volcanoes and
towering mountains.
THAILAND
SPAIN
The Kingdom of Thailand (Prathet Thai, or “Land of the Free”)
is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been colonized by
Europe. Thailand’s culture and society is influenced by
Buddhism, Hinduism and the monarchy. Similar to
England, Thailand is a constitutional monarchy that
enjoys democratic rule. Visitors are impressed by its
natural beauty and hospitable people. Pristine beaches,
lush jungles and vibrant wildlife are juxtaposed with
modern cities and cuttingedge technology.
Spain is virtually unspoiled by modern standards. Its culture,
folklore, appreciation of celebration, chivalry and hospitality
have survived through the modernization of the 20th
century, perhaps more so than any other country in
Europe. Spain is the second largest country in Western
Europe. Tourism is one of the main industries, as is
energy production through wind turbine. The official
language is Spanish (Castilian) although other languages
are spoken regionally.
TURKEY
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Turkey is a blend of everything old and new, East and West.
Turkey straddles the boundaries of Europe and Asia. Its rich history
and traditions, spanning thousands of years, are influenced by Middle
Eastern, Aegean, Balkan and transcaucasian cultures.
Mosques coexist with Orthodox churches and
Synagogues; Hittite, Roman and Ottoman
ruins stand next to modern buildings;
and gypsy festivals are as common as
classical and pop music concerts.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) has grown from
little more than sand dunes and fishing villages a
century ago to a showstopping, headlinegrabbing
destination that offers an intriguing blend of
traditional Islamic culture, opulence and
ultramodern architecture. UAE consists of seven
emirates, linked geographically and politically, but
each having a unique sense of identity, culture and
royal family.

ONSITE DIRECTOR
MS. ANN WADSWORTH (PHOTO TOP RIGHT)
Originally from Boston, Ann studied abroad in Australia in 1990
and loved it so much she returned to live and work here! Now married

Definitely the time of my life!
I couldn't ask for anything better. I learned a
lot about China through courses and field trips.
In Shanghai I stood in the room where the first
Communist meeting was held. You get chills
when you think about what actually happened.
Nanjing, Sanzhou, Hanzhou and Wuxi were
equally impressive. To get a history lesson in
the place it happened is priceless.

Guayaquil, founded in 1538 by Spanish conquistador Francisco
de Orellana, traces its origin to the Inca Empire. Today, Guayaquil
serves as the financial, commercial and cultural center of Ecuador.
Guayaquil is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of mangrove
swamp, tropical dry forest, desert and marine ecosystems. With easy
access to tropical beaches, the Amazon basin and other ecological
destinations, Guayaquil is becoming a major tourist destination.
I had fallen in love with Ecuador. I left the
country with my initial impression confirmed;
the biodiversity and landscape were breathtaking,
and my host family and new friends were
incredible. Studying abroad was one of my most
significant and enjoyable experiences, and I
cannot wait to return. KEI did a wonderful job.

LOCATION
Nairobi is Kenya’s political capital and the principal economic,
diplomatic and cultural center in East Africa. Its location between
Johannesburg and Cairo has attracted numerous multinational
corporations, NGOs and the United Nations’ African headquarters.
Nairobi is one of the most modern cities in Africa, with
skyscrapers, outdoor cafes, theaters, museums and Westernstyle
hotels. Yet, the city retains close ties with nature. Nairobi National
Park is only fifteen minutes from downtown.
Kenya is a beautiful place and I would love
to go back. The people in Kenya were incredibly
kind. It was great meeting so many people
who became my friends and traveling to so
many amazing places that most Americans
never dream of. I know it sounds cheesy, but
there was a moment when I was sitting with
friends and realized that coming to Kenya
was honestly the best decision of my life.

LOCATION
Lima is the capital and economic center of Peru. The city is a
melting pot of European, Andean and Asian cultures. The Historic
Center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with architecture dating
back to the Inca and colonial eras. The city offers a wide array of
museums, parks, theaters and restaurants.
Cuzco, the capital city of the Inca Empire, colonial administrative
center and a UNESCO World Heritage site, has a deep sense of
history, tradition and culture. Perched in the Andean mountains,
Cuzco is the most visited city in Latin America due to its proximity
to Machu Picchu and other Inca and Quechua sites.
Lima is a wonderful place for someone to live
and study. USIL professors are excellent and
the campus offers many opportunities to learn
Spanish and engage with the local community.
The KEI Program Manager and Onsite Director
are amazing. The orientation was very thorough
and helpful. The KEI Director is a kind person
who knows everything about the city and is
available when needed. Thank you.

Life is Moscow is phenomenal!
This has been an amazing, amazing experience.
I guess what it comes down to is the undeniable
existence of ‘Russianness.’ There are just
certain features that make this place, these
people, this life unique to no end. It’s certainly
not the West but it’s also not the East. Instead,
it’s some crazy, unpredictable, frustrating,
but wellintended, bundle of life still stuck
somewhere behind the maturity and advancement
of the rest but somewhere so much further ahead
in the embracement of being human and
searching for happiness.

OVERVIEW

Burgos is a historic and vibrant city in northern Spain on El
Camino de Santiago. Founded in the 9th century, Burgos was the
seat of the Crown of Castile and considered to be the origin of
modern Spanish. Among its notable landmarks are the Burgos
Castle and Cathedral, and Casa del Cordón, where Ferdinand and
Isabella met with Christopher Columbus after he returned from the
New World. In 1512, the Leyes de Burgos were drafted as the first
laws to govern the treatment of native Americans.
Modern day Burgos is a cosmopolitan city with a remarkable
cultural life. The medieval city center preserves its heritage while
offering modern conveniences, entertainment and culinary options.
Atapuerca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the earliest
European hominids were discovered, is 12 miles from the city. Burgos
is surrounded by the Fuentes Blancas and the Paseo de la Isla parks.

Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, was founded around
660 BC. The city served as the capital of four empires the Roman
Empire (330395), the Byzantine Empire (3951204 and 12611453),
the Latin Empire (12041261), and the Ottoman Empire (14531922).
Today, Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and serves as the economic,
cultural and historical center of the country. The city straddles both
Europe and Asia. Archeological and historic sites are abound Hagia
Sophia Church, Basilica Cister, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and
Roman Aqueduct to mention a few.
I am loving my stay in Istanbul.
I feel like I've done so much and seen
so much already. Very excited for the
near future. Feeling very welcome and
KEI is helping me adjust quite well.

PROGRAM REVIEWS
EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Milan was a dream come true. As a fashion
capital one of the Big Four there were plenty
of things to do. I participate in Fashion Week.
It was easily one of the coolest things I've
experienced in life so far. KEI and IED provided us
with exclusive (FREE) tickets to shows for big designers, and
we even had opportunities to work backstage. I also went to the
Euroleague Basketball Final Four Championship, which was
awesome.
Milan is also a great starting point for travel in Europe. There
are several lowfare airlines that make travel inexpensive. If you do
it right, you can go on a weekend trip to Paris for just 56 euro (18
euro each way, plus 20 euro for a hostel).
Professors at the Institute of European Design (IED) are
phenomenal. Not only do they know their content, they actually
work in the field. My photography teacher, Pierro, has been
working for Armani for over a decade. Pierro is very humble, and
he only disclosed that information in context, but he is Armani's
preferred photographer. The teachers also care. Pierro took time
one evening to take students shopping for equipment, making sure
that we got the best deals.
I always wanted to study abroad, but I did not think it was
possible for me since I transferred schools and changed majors.
The great thing about KEI is that the programs really offer classes
that count toward your academic requirements. KEI was also very
helpful, making sure to offer tips or advice throughout all stages of
the process. Andrea, the Onsite Director, chose our weekly cultural
activities to accommodate our different personalities so that we
would each have a fantastic experience.
Studying abroad was definitely my favorite college
experience, and I would recommend it to everyone.
HUNTER STREET
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
We appreciate everything you did for Hunter
while he was in Istanbul. Hunter absolutely
flourished during this experience he loved it.
Istanbul is in his bones now. Certainly, the people
he met while he was there have an awful lot to do
with why this experience was so special for him.
Istanbul is just an awesome city, and Cappadocia, Pamukkale
and Ephesus was spectacular and educationally interesting. Thanks
for everything, and best wishes. Jenny (parent)

I absolutely love KEI. I compared KEI with
other study abroad organizations and not only is
KEI less expensive, you get much much more for
your money. KEI makes sure students are well
informed and looked after before and during their
study abroad experience. And, the cultural excursions were well
prepared and amazing. I want to thank KEI for everything you did
for me. I will continue to promote KEI to everyone I know. If only
you offered a grad school program and I promise I would be the
first to apply. Thank you again!

Words can not describe my experience with

love my host family and get along with them so
well. They treat me like one of their own. I am
doing great and having an amazing time. Thank you
for making this possible!
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA
I loved my experience in Ecuador. This
program helped me realize that international
affairs is a career path I will find most rewarding.
Everyone at KEI has helped me in some way
come closer to what it is that the future holds.
Claudia is an amazing onsite director! She became our mom,
and comforted us when we were confused and in culture shock! She
even allowed us to use her phone to call home. Claudia truly made
me feel at home. She made Ecuador an amazing place to be. It
helped me realize that if anything were to happen, I have someone
who I can call!
JAKE WILSONNESS
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, CHICAGO
Moscow has been an amazing experience to
say the least. There are certainly the share of ups
and downs (like any living cycle), but I am so
very happy I have had the chance to see, study,
interact with, and relate to everything in Russia.
Just the other weekend I was at the State Tretakov looking at
pieces by Ivanov and Vereshchagin, and was in awe of the art and
history. Two weeks ago I was in Kazan with the KEI group visiting
Orthodox churches and mosques in the capital of Tartarstan. And
just the other day, my friends Francesca from Switzerland and Luke
from Boston were eating kartoshka from kiosks in the university
square overlooking the city. There are a thousand stories like these.
I feel as alive as I did when I first moved to Chicago, if not
more. Thank you and hope all is well with the KEI crew. Paka!
CHRISTOPHER MUNDIATH
LASALLE UNIVERSITY
Life in Lima is great! I'm so thankful for the
opportunity KEI has given me. Classes are going
well, the Don Ignacio housing is nice and the KEI
Director does a great job at helping us out. We've
already been to a bunch of places in and around
Lima. I decided to stay in Peru for another semester...
I'm really liking it!

My experience in Thailand was beyond
incredible, more like life changing. The different
places, the food, the people and other aspects of
the rich culture in Thailand made my stay there an
unforgettable one. The KEI Onsite Director played a
critical role in making our semester abroad enjoyable and
educational. A lot of time and effort was dedicated to planning
activities for my peers and I. We visited different beautiful areas,
such as the Island of Kho Samet, the Grand Palace, ChiangMai,
Bangkok and many other places.
I am a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major. So the
courses I took were sciencebased; although I did complete an
exciting Thai Language and Culture course. The teaching styles
were different but with proper time management, it is more than
possible maintain excellent grades while exploring all Thailand has
to offer.
The KEI program arranged for housing that was conveniently
located within walking distance of Mahidol University. The people
in the community were very pleasant and accepted us with open
arms.
Thank you KEI for this amazing program!
My experience in China was life changing.
There is no better way to increase understanding
of a complex county like China than to study and
intern abroad. Living in Beijing for a semester,
meeting students from China and around the world,
and studying the culture and language of a rising global superpower
was the best experience of my life. I was the first African American
many Chinese had come in contact with. On several occasions I
found myself at the center of attention. Mothers nudging their
young toward me while gesturing for a picture. This was a unique
position to be in; at times I felt like a celebrity. Overall, there is
nothing I would change about my KEI experience in China.
MARY OCHILTREE
WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY
Ireland was absolutely amazing! KEI did a
great job making sure we were well prepared in
advance and then had the outlets for support while
we were there. The price was lower than any other
program and it was well worth the cost! I will
definitely put the word out there about the KEI program.
Thanks for everything!

The program in Edinburgh was fantastic.
Everyone was helpful and welcoming. The Onsite
Director was a terrific . She helped with problems
and was always available. The excursions were
wonderful. I enjoyed my time abroad and can't wait
to go back.
STEPHANIE MORGAN
FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
Studying in England was always a dream of
mine but it seemed far fetched for a student
supporting herself until I found out KEI. KEI
offered an awesome program in the heart of
London for a great price.
I thoroughly enjoyed being able to explore London and other
parts of Europe while earning credit towards my degree. The
lessons I learned changed my entire life and opened me up to the
possibility of exploring more of the world.
If it weren't for KEI's commitment to affordable and quality
study abroad programs, I would never have been able to have this
life changing experience. When I left the U.S. to study in London it
was my first time leaving home. Now I have visited 5 continents
and pursuing a masters degree abroad.
I am forever thankful to KEI for my time in London and all
the good it has done for me. KEI staff was helpful throughout the
process of getting ready and during my program. Thanks, KEI!

I feel that our program compared to other
American students staying in Kenya was the best
because everything was so well planned and there
was so much to do. We experienced much more of
the country than the other students. The excursions
and Patrick (KEI Director) were great. There was not anything that
I did not enjoy about the program.

Akita reminds me of home. I may be
thousands of miles away from family but I'm
not alone. The people on campus and in public
are very nice and helpful. I'm surrounded by
people who have become my friends. This was my
first experience living in a dorm and I've enjoyed it so far. The
classes are fun, interesting and interactive. Yuka (KEI Director)
is great and has a wonderful personality. The excursions were
amazing. To see and enjoy other aspects of Japan allowed me to
appreciate my time here. I absolutely love Akita and Japan.
CAPITAL UNIVERSITY
I think about Paris every day and my time
spent there remains to be the best memory of my
life. Particularly, our day we spent in Bourgogne,
eating cheese and saucisson at Patrick's lovely
home and walking around Chablis with my shoes
off and taking a nap next to the stream. Thank you so much for
those great memories.
