Business Administration Third Semester Abroad (BTI)

The International Studies program allows students to take one semester of their degree program at a foreign institution. This institution must belong to the College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS) and be affiliated with a U.S. sponsoring institution. By planning ahead, students in Liberal Arts or Business Administration Transfer programs can spend a semester abroad and still earn their associate's degree in two years. Up to 15 credits earned abroad are included on students' transcripts as North Shore Community College credits, facilitating the transfer of these credits to four-year institutions.

Students who are eligible for financial aid at North Shore Community College are also eligible for financial aid while studying abroad.
