CIEE Opens First U.S. Study Center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Sao Paulo, Salvador da Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro. As the first and only U.S. Rio de Janeiro provides students with access to the full range of academic programs—offered in both Portuguese and English—at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), the top-rated private university in Brazil. Rio is unique because we partner with the perennial top-rated private university in Brazil and we offer exceptional educational programs, cultural activities, and community engagement activities. Most importantly, our staff includes both Americans and Brazilians. Together, we represent a study abroad team that intimately knows Rio de Janeiro and understands the needs of today’s students, allowing us to offer our students the very best student support in the industry.”
