Parents and Study Abroad| Supporting Your Student’s Global Journey

An international experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — and Lake Erie College is with your student every step of the way.

We understand that sending your student abroad is both exciting and nerve-wracking. That’s why every Lake Erie College program is designed with safety, academic rigor, and personal growth in mind.

Our study abroad partners — including CEA CAPA and institutions like Sant’Anna Institute in Italy and Hartpury University in England — provide structured support, accredited coursework, and caring local staff who ensure your student’s well-being.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Academic Quality: Courses abroad transfer back to LEC and count toward your student’s degree.

  • Student Support: Trained coordinators abroad provide assistance with housing, health, and emergency services.

  • Financial Transparency: We work with you and the Office of Financial Aid to ensure financial options are clear and manageable.

  • Career-Ready Skills: Students return more independent, adaptable, and confident — qualities that employers consistently seek.

Your student’s study abroad journey is more than travel — it’s preparation for a successful, connected, and globally minded future.
