Semester-Long Study Abroad
Since 1986, SMCCCD Study Abroad has participated in the Northern California Study Abroad Consortium (NCSAC) to offer semester-long study abroad programs in various destinations in Europe.
The program typically travels to Florence, Italy every spring semester and rotates between Barcelona, Spain and London, England every fall semester.
Courses are pre-articulated with the University of California and California State University systems to ensure transferability and are taught abroad in English by American Community College professors.
Coming Soon:
