Welcome to BBA International Programs!

As a parent, it's often very exciting and sometimes nerve-wracking when a student studies abroad. Will they be safe? How can we afford to let them study abroad? How can I contact them while they’re overseas?

These are among the many questions that you might ask during the planning stages of your student’s study abroad experience. Perhaps a question you may be asking yourself is “How can I help?”

This website is designed for parents, to help your student get the most out of his/her study abroad experience. It is important to remember that this entire process is a learning experience for your student, and they should be the one doing all the planning.

However, it is very important that your student feels confident and shares with you the planning and logistics of their study abroad program. Your son/daughter will be your best source of information concerning these details. Your encouragement and support will be very important in ensuring a positive experience for your student.

Please explore the links on this page to learn more about some important issues concerning Study Abroad, including budget, helicopter parenting, communicating with your student when he/she travels, and many more!
