Our Mission, Standards, and Ethics

For over 45 years CAPA: The Global Education Network has worked with institutions of higher education to build programs that meet their goals for learning abroad. We operate education centers in Global Cities and have developed distinct academic offerings, support frameworks, and oversight structures for our students and visiting faculty.

CAPA: The Global Education Network is committed to academic excellence, integrity, and innovation in learning abroad. We provide meaningful experiences that challenge and inspire students to analyze and explore complex political, cultural, and social landscapes within urban environments. Using collaborative learning communities and global connections via technology, we prepare students to live and work in a globally interdependent and diverse world.

We are a private limited partnership organization headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, governed by a Board of Directors and an Executive Team comprised of the CEO/President, Deputy and Vice-President, CAPA’s department heads, and independent consultants who review our fiscal and commercial responsibilities. Our Academic Advisory Board provides advice and counsel on the development, growth, and progress of our programs worldwide. School of Record partnerships with accredited US institutions of higher education allow us to grant students credit on US transcripts for courses taken abroad.

Justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to the mission, structure, and operations of CAPA: The Global Education Network. We are an equal opportunity employer that strives to provide a work environment that celebrates difference and is free of implicit and explicit bias. We seek to hire employees representing diversity in all forms and work to support all employees to achieve at the highest level. Employment is based on a person’s professional qualifications and competence. CAPA does not discriminate against any employee or applicant because of race, creed, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition including breastfeeding or any other basis protected by law.
