Higher Education Service
The Higher Education service provides links between CIS secondary schools and institutions of higher education. There are currently some 460 accredited post-secondary higher education institutions that support international education and the goals of the Council. Each year graduates from CIS schools matriculate at CIS member colleges/universities worldwide, including institutions in the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Continental Europe. Services for Higher Education members are designed to facilitate and optimize the linkage between institutions of higher education and secondary schools to increase visibility with school leavers and the school guidance community. Historically, services focused on recruitment tours that visit international and national schools throughout the world. The value of membership and the range of services offered today are ever more far reaching—and include a series of college fairs and workshops for college admissions and school guidance counselors.
