The college also offers a study abroad tour to a different country each year. Participants in the study tour may enroll for up to six hours of course credit as part of the eight week summer session. Dr. Brian Kessel is the Study Abroad Advisor and advises students about the availability, value and academic appropriateness of these programs.

Federal financial aid, such as the Pell Grant or student loans, can be used to help finance study abroad. Institutional grants and awards cannot be used for study abroad. Students who are interested in obtaining more information about these opportunities should contact Dr. Brian Kessel, Study Abroad Advisor.
