International Education
The Community College of Baltimore County is committed to providing students the opportunity to better understand the impact of the world upon their personal and professional lives. The International Education program at CCBC works to increase international student enrollment and to incorporate this population into the life of the institution.

CCBC has established links with institutions in England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belize and Africa. Visiting scholars from these institutions have provided classroom instruction at CCBC.
