Welcome to the Study Abroad Program
|
Why Study Abroad? There is no better way to expand your awareness of the world than to live, study, and experience another country and culture firsthand. The study abroad experience provides an unsurpassed opportunity for personal growth, individual revelation and maturity, and the possibility to master a new language and develop a sense of confidence and personal accomplishment. These qualities demonstrate to others that you are an individual worth investing in - someone with a global perspective who is not afraid to grow. Information Session - All Programs There will be an information session on all ACC study abroad programs on Friday, December 11 @ 7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.
