College of DuPage is an institution that embraces a global perspective.
We see the world as a giant classroom. Our students have opportunities to learn around the world, whether through the Study Abroad program, field studies courses or internship opportunities that led one former student to the South Pole.
Our welcoming nature also attracts students from a variety of cultures, whether they already live in-district, found us online or heard about us from family or friends. They come to COD because of our reputation as a center for excellence, and they add insights that enrich and enhance the on-campus experience.
Finally, former COD students can be found not just in every state but on nearly every continent, using the knowledge and skills they learned here to build a career or pursue a passion.
As we continue to move past the pandemic, this is an ideal time to reconnect with the world around us.
