International Programs

As the host college for the Illinois Consortium for International Studies and Programs (ICISP), Heartland offers study abroad programs in 15+ countries, ranging from short-term trips to semester-long stays in destinations like Japan, Ireland, Spain, and South Africa.

These programs are eligible for financial aid, and scholarship such as the HCC Study Abroad Scholarship and Gilman Award can help reduce costs.

On campus, our Global Studies program and support for international students further enrich our commitment to global learning.

Whether you're an international student looking to study in the U.S. or a local student dreaming of global adventures, our international programs open doors. Study abroad with scholarship opportunities, welcome international peers to campus, or explore global studies without leaving home. Wherever your journey begins, we’ll help you grow into a true global citizen. International Programs
