Internationalization

Internationalization as a major thrust of Carlos Hilado Memorial State University was given impetus in 2017 with the establishment of the Center for External Affairs, now Center for Internationalization and External Relations, where International Education is one of its core mandates. CHMSU believes that international education is one of the best ways for students to build global competence as they meet the challenges of 21st century learning.

At Carlos Hilado Memorial State University, we term our study abroad as TraVerSE Abroad Program, short for Train (internship or training), Volunteer (volunteering or service learning), Study (academic) and Exchange (cultural). TraVerSE Abroad Program is designed as an optional co-curricular and extra-curricular enhancement program for qualified students. The program is administered and facilitated by the Center for Internationalization and External Relations (CIER) in close coordination with the different colleges through their deans, the Office for Student Affairs and Services, the Office of the Registrar and the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
