The presence of international students at Moraine Valley and the opportunity for American students to study abroad provides tremendous potential to gain a broader knowledge of the diverse and multicultural world we share. These opportunities, combined with coursework designed to include global perspectives, prepare students to succeed.

We provide students with language study, area studies, and culture studies and create globally infused courses and programs within transfer and career disciplines. We offer study-abroad opportunities along with on-campus events and programs.
