KEI Abroad
The Knowledge Exchange Institute was founded in 1997 on the belief that study abroad should go beyond liberal arts education and cultural exchange to include discipline-specific studies and professional development.
From the beginning, KEI worked to develop affordable all-inclusive programs that integrate courses, internships and cultural interaction. Our goal was, and continues to this day, to provide education abroad programs that allow students to complete major-specific and general education requirements, gain practical experience and enhance their understanding of the world through cultural and social immersion.
KEI's "Medicine, Health and Nutrition Program" and the "Science, Mathematics and Engineering Program" at Moscow State University in Russia were opened in the fall of 1998. Since than, KEI has expanded its offerings to more than 25 program concentrations in China, Ecuador, England, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Peru, Russia, Scotland, Spain, Tanzania, Thailand and Turkey. We continue to develop programs around the world.
KEI also expanded its scope to include a wider range of academic disciplines and professional areas. KEI now offers programs that focus on business, economics, international relations, foreign languages, regional studies, psychology, sociology, anthropology, archeology, communications, journalism, media, visual arts, performing arts, graphic design and fashion design as well as science, math, engineering, medicine, health and computer science. KEI continues to expand its offerings to include other academic majors and professions.
While it has not always been easy, our mission, goals and values have not wavered. We are committed to providing affordable programs that are distinguished by quality personalized service and academic and professional opportunities.
