Study Abroad

everyone can study abroad!

Study Abroad at Cerritos College is a great opportunity, no matter who you are or what stage of your academic journey are you in.

Faculty-led Programs - These for-credit experiences are offered during summer and offer 6 weeks of instruction (typically about 2 weeks at Cerritos/online and 3-4 weeks abroad).
Cultural Immersion Programs - these not-for-credit experiences, typically 3 weeks long, are designed to immerse you in a country's language and culture.
