STUDY ABROAD
Below are programs some of our Traditionally Untraditional Representatives have experienced and recommend to others.
AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF FOREIGN STUDY
The American Institute of Foreign Study (AIFS) has an office located at Diablo Valley College as well as several other community colleges up and down California. This program partners with community colleges transporting both students and professors to foreign universities allowing students to take their community college classes in another country with guaranteed transferable credit.
The program is flexible and allows students to travel on their own time in between classes as well as optional structured tours through the duration of the trip. To find out more about AIFS and their program visit aifsabroad.com or Diablo Valley College's study abroad office.
