Welcome to SBCC Study Abroad!
Welcome to your #1 destination for Santa Barbara Community College Study Abroad programs.
We are looking forward to letting you join our study abroad students on their journey abroad and providing you with great resources to plan for your once (or twice or thrice) in-a-lifetime opportunity to study in another country. Come back often as students take you around the world and share their tips for anything study abroad.
#1 advantage of studying abroad? According to our students, it's "making lifelong friends."
