About the Company

CET Academic Programs is a study abroad organization that has been developing and operating innovative
educational programs abroad since 1982. Originally “China Educational Tours,” CET began operations in
Beijing, later expanding to other locations around the world. Today, CET offers a varied portfolio of
semester, summer, and customized programs around the world.

CET is known for strong academics, professional program management, a nimble and collaborative
approach to partnerships, and supportive student services. Through elements such as field-based course
components, internships, and housing with local roommates, CET strives to integrate students into the local
community and facilitate lasting relationships with hosts. Through its commitment to equity and inclusion,
CET seeks and encourages the participation of students from diverse backgrounds and strives to create
program environments that foster critical thinking and an appreciation of difference. And as an
environmentally conscientious organization, CET aims to adopt sustainable measures across its
operations.

CET’s parent company, Academic Travel Abroad, Inc. (ATA) is an educational travel provider for many
universities, cultural, and media organizations, as well as a growing number of commercial brands.
Operating since 1950, we believe in celebrating and learning about diversity of people and cultures through
travel and education. Our educational travel division is a leader in customized, branded, experiential travel
and serves partners such as the Smithsonian Institution, NPR, Hearst, Zagat, Yale Alumni Academy, and
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In this capacity, we are frequently the “brand behind the brand”.
ATA also facilitates professional delegation travel in the fields of health, education, and law.
