We have had several students use the College Consortium for International Studies, (CCIS) Study Abroad Program. You can visit their site at www.ccisabroad.org or stop by our office to pick up a program catalog to see if there is anything that might be of interest to you or we can check into other programs as well.
There may be some scholarship monies available for Delta students who want to study abroad. We will know more later this summer or early fall. We will post information to our website as it becomes available, www.delta.edu/culture.
Hope this helps to answer some of your questions and gives you enough information to get you started. Please feel free to contact our office with any other questions or concerns that you might have or to schedule an appointment with the International Education Program Director.
