International Education Committee
International Education Statement
Heartland has a stated commitment to promote International Education and serve as a resource to unique and innovative learning opportunities for our community. Towards that end, and in recognition of the significant and lasting positive impact that a global perspective can bring, Heartland encourages expanding the international perspective to both students and faculty through memberships in the Illinois Consortium for International Study Programs (ICISP), through whom students can study abroad, and faculty can gain valuable professional development.
Furthermore, Heartland welcomes many international students to our community through International Programs. Please refer to http://www.heartland.edu/international/index.html or call 309-268-8043 for more information.
