Study Abroad

Visit Sydney, Australia in the Fall of 2008

Unfortunately the Ohlone study abroad program to Sydney will not be running in Fall 2008 due to low enrollment.

But, there is some good news! You still have the opportunity to study abroad in Sydney during the Fall 2008 semester!

My name is Julie Franzini and I am the Program Manager at CAPA who usually works with Ohlone College to organize study abroad programs.

View of Sydney Harbour from above.You can enroll in our Partnership program with students from 3 other colleges. There are more inclusions in this program, more courses offered, and the program is also longer, so it is somewhat more expensive. However, we encourage you to consider this option and join other CAPA students studying in a new environment this fall! You will receive Ohlone credits for courses while studying and experiencing a new culture!

The program inclusions are listed below. If you have any questions at all feel free to respond via email or call the 1-800 number below and speak with Julie or Jodi.
