Studying abroad can be one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences in a student's academic career, and combining learning and travel is education at its best!

However, before you enroll in a study abroad program, it is essential to find out as much as possible about the program, the program provider, and the academic coursework offered to determine whether the program is right for you.

If you are interested in one of SBCC's programs, we strongly advise you to attend the program's information meeting with the program director or to meet with the Study Abroad Program Advisor and your Academic and Financial Aid Advisor. Scoll down to find a calendar of events.

Also, to make the most of your experience abroad, it is essential to prepare yourself adequately and to become knowledgeable about the country(ies) you will be visiting. We have many online resources available to you. Just browse our pages!
