The Institute for Education in International Media (ieiMedia) sponsors intensive journalism study-abroad courses every summer. The programs are open to English-speaking college students and recent graduates from all schools. Each media course is taught by a team of professional journalists and journalism educators.

ieiMedia, a pioneer in journalism education, has been taking students abroad since 2002. It was founded by Andrew Ciofalo, now a professor emeritus at Loyola University Maryland.

Our projects aim to educate students in various media disciplines while at the same time inspiring them to explore a foreign culture. For each project, students produce a publication — a multimedia website, print magazine or book — about the community where they live and learn.

Past programs have been based in Urbino, Italy; Perpignan, France; Istanbul, Turkey; Armagh, Northern Ireland; Cagli, Italy and Camerano, Italy. Nearly 400 students have participated in these programs.
