TC3 is helping dreams come true! Through its Academic Exchange Program, international J-1 Exchange Visitors students can spend a semester working and studying at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, Florida. This semester, 30 students from six partner colleges and universities in Colombia, Honduras, and Peru are in Florida, working and earning 15 credits from TC3 by taking BUAD 261, taught online by TC3 faculty Amanda Bisson and Christine Evans. 

TC3 has participated in the Disney College Program, which is open to all TC3 students, since its founding in 1981, but in 2007 TC3 became one of the only community colleges in the country that sponsors J-1 Academic Exchange students at the Walt Disney World® Resort. Through its partnerships with international colleges and universities, TC3 has welcomed more than 1,000 international students to the program.
