New Zealand offers a unique and diverse opportunity for your study abroad experience. Known for its mixture of European and Maori cultures, New Zealand is unlike any other English-speaking country in the world. The Kiwis – local folks – know how to make you feel welcome while opening up new ways of seeing the world around you. You may arrive unsure of what you will find, but you will leave knowing that you must come back.
Program includes round-trip air transportation from Cincinnati to New Zealand and ground / air transporting between program sites. Round-trip air transportation from other cities and / or extensions to the departure or return date will be considered on a case-by-case basis, at your own expense.

David Nelson
Program Director
After earning his bachelor’s in international studies and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, having an interest in international education, David moved to Japan to teach English from 2008 to 2012. From this base he experienced life and culture while traveling throughout Southeast Asia, particularly South Korea, Malaysia, and The Philippines among other countries. After Japan, David lived and worked in Australia before returning to the USA to work for CCSA. David has directed the CCSA London and Australia programs and looks forward to directing the upcoming New Zealand program. When not traveling, David can be found reading, developing his skills as a web developer, and making dubious attempts at creating international cuisine.
Option 1 — Group Travel
Estimated Cost: $2400 – $2800
Travel together with faculty, staff and other participants from your CCSA program with optional group travel. If you opt for group travel CCSA will purchase a airline ticket from select U.S. cities on your behalf. The airline cost will be included in your final bill from CCSA. In addition to the flight, those that choose group travel also receive transport to/from the accommodation in the destination city and the airport.
You can check our currently available departure cities on our departures page CCSA highly recommends this option for those new to international travel.
- roundtrip air transportation from one of CCSA's designated U.S. departure cities.
- roundtrip ground transportation between airport and the accommodation site.
- CCSA faculty and staff to guide you through the immigration and customs process.
Option 2 —Independent Travel:
If you wish to make independent travel arrangements and depart from a city not listed or travel outside the program dates please choose INDEPENDENT TRAVEL from the selection below. You will book your own flights and arrange your own transportation to/from the airport and the accommodation site of the program. This is a great option for going early, staying late, or using airline miles to purchase tickets. We highly recommend participants not fly standby for these programs as a late arrival may negatively impact your grade.
Important Note for Independent Travelers: Please be aware that your check-in date may be up to 24 hours AFTER the program start date (program dates include travel time). Check the CCSA website at https://ccsa.cc/departures for your scheduled date/time check-in.
