SUMMER

QUARTER AT A GLANCE

International Student Programs is excited to announce that, for the second quarter in a row, BCC has a record breaking number of international students enrolled for the quarter.  There are currently 523 international students attending BCC, which is the highest summer quarter enrollment we have ever seen! We are coming off of a Spring Quarter that had 737 international students enrolled, breaking our previous Spring Quarter records. We would like to thank the college for supporting us in our efforts to recruit and walk alongside international students.  We would also like to thank all the faculty and staff who work hard daily to make BCC an exceptional place for all students, including those who are studying here from abroad.
