Study Abroad

Studying in another country can be one of the most rewarding experiences of a student's undergraduate career. Studying abroad will widen your horizons and provide you with new ways of thinking about the world as you experience a different culture.

Community College of Philadelphia has several study abroad opportunities for its students:

Study Tour of Mérida, México (March 2010)
During the College’s spring break (March 6-13, 2010), join faculty and students on a noncredit study tour of ancient and contemporary Maya culture in and around Mérida, Mexico. Visit ancient Mayan cities, contemporary Mayan villages, museums and much more. The cost of this trip is only $850.00, which includes airfare, hotel, buses in Mexico, all entrances and several group dinners.
