Federal financial aid can be applied to study abroad programs. Students who may not ordinarily qualify for financial aid may for study abroad.

You DON’T have to lose out on academic credit. The International Education Center works with students, staff, and faculty at Brookdale and host institutions to assist students in choosing their courses and transferring credit for classes taken abroad..

You DON’T have to dedicate an entire semester to study abroad. Summer programs through CCIS and through BCC Short-Term Programs are designed for students interested in studying for shorter periods of time outside of the regular academic semesters.
