MMC students may spend a semester, a full academic year, a summer, or January session studying abroad. The College offers a number of opportunities and formats to earn academic credits in programs throughout the world. Study abroad is an intellectually stimulating and life-changing experience and enhances learning in several ways: students gain an international perspective on world events, experience and learn to enjoy another culture, and enhance their cross-cultural competency. Students also learn about themselves and boost their self-confidence and independence. Finally, studying abroad can make an impressive addition to students’ resumes and help them stand out from the crowd as a job candidate. Interdisciplinary in nature, study abroad prepares students to interact with other peoples and cultures. Information about study abroad is available online.
