university CIS tour to THE MIDDLE EAST 2012

The CIS University Tour is an excellent opportunity for students and parents to become familiar with the multitude of higher education options that are offered abroad by speaking personally with college and university admissions officers and faculty members. Keep an open mind, ask questions, and think critically about the educational options that are being presented to you. Remember, while you may be inclined to believe that there is only one “right” university for you, the fact is that many universities may suit you and your future goals. Use this event as a unique opportunity to conduct some careful and thoughtful research. This is a process which should be as enjoyable as it is rewarding.
