Study Abroad

NMC was ranked No. 10 nationally among community colleges for short-term study abroad opportunities by the Institute of International Education. And NMC’s 50 students who traveled in 2022 made it first among community colleges in the nation as a percentage of enrollment, with nearly two percent of students taking part in a study abroad experience.
