London, England – Fall 2010
Membership in the Washington Community College Consortium for Study Abroad (WCCCSA) allows Peninsula College students and faculty to participate in a broad range of international learning opportunities.
WCCCSA faculty compliment classroom learning with trips to local museums, historical and other significant sites and related events. Students are encouraged to learn by observing and interacting with the local citizenry and by traveling to places of interest on the weekends. When you study abroad, you not only learn about other cultures and other ways of experiencing the world, you gain insight into your own culture and how it is perceived by others.
