Welcome to the Office of International Programs

At the Office of International Programs, our mission is to prepare students for citizenship, service, and leadership in a global society.

Almost 40 percent of BC undergraduates have an international experience by the time they graduate. We are proud of our comprehensive network of more than 60 academic partnerships in over 30 countries worldwide. Each year more than 1,000 students from all fields of study and with varied foreign language backgrounds participate in tailored programs during the academic year and in our faculty-lead summer programs abroad. Students can enroll in BC programs or approved external programs. OIP also hosts over 150 international exchange students annually from our partner universities around the world.

Our staff is dedicated to helping each participant find the right program.
