The Office of International Education and Study Abroad programs is responsible for all international students and administers the regulations governing their status. Support services are provided from the time they are accepted at the College and continue throughout their academic experience. International students are encouraged to share their cultures and customs with the entire campus community

This office also provides information on a wide variety of opportunities for all MassBay Community College students who are interested in travel, study and exchange programs abroad. The office works with interested faculty and staff to facilitate and establish these programs on campus while ensuring compliance with the current policies of the College, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Homeland Security guidelines.

Study Abroad programs to various countries are available throughout the academic year including summer.  In addition, the Office of International and Study Abroad programs can make arrangements through local cooperating colleges and universities, as well as through the College Consortium on International Studies (CCIS) for students to study abroad for a semester or a full academic year with academic credit. All students are encouraged to participate in any of the study abroad offerings.

The Office of International Education and Study Abroad Programs is located on the 1st floor in the Community and Corporate Education suite, Room C, Wellesley Hills campus.
