TC3 - About Us

Tompkins Cortland Community College first entered the field of international education (IE) in 1992, when we began our partnership with World University in Madrid Spain. Since then, TC3 Global has made international education and cultural exchange one of the foundations of the college’s mission.

TC3 Global is comprised of 5 elements:

Global Traditions

Through this program, TC3 recruits and supports any F-1 visa students who are interested in obtaining an associate’s degree. With over 38 degree programs such as business administration, broadcast journalism, international business, computer information systems and biotechnology, TC3 can provide a strong foundation for further studies or excellent technical skills for immediate employment.

Global Studies

Global Studies is our study abroad program. Through our study abroad programs, we make trips lasting between two weeks to a year to various locations around the world. College credit is not only earned in languages, history and culture, but also in technical areas such as nursing and hotel administration.

Global Connections

Global Connections is a unique program that allows students from a four-year university to earn a two-year degree from TC3 after studying at our college for two semesters. There is also an option to spend one year at a four-year university near us (Rochester Institute of Technology), and earn a bachelors degree. The student remains active at his "home" university, using transfer credits between the three institutions to earn three complimentary degrees in four years. The two U.S. degrees, plus almost two years living in the U.S., make students strong candidates for graduate schools and employment back home.

We have run our Global Connections program for over 12 years in Latin America and parts of Europe. We have over 35 partner universities that use the Global Connections program as a tool to recruit new students for their universities.

Global ESOL

The basis for succeeding at TC3 is Global ESOL. These English language and culture courses and workshops develop the academic and conversational English skills of our students, and prepare students for English Proficiency exams, such as TOEFL.

Global Professions

Global Professions is a non-credit, professional development service. We customize all of our trainings, held either in the U.S. or abroad, based upon the client's needs. Our ESOL teacher-training program is highly regarded, and we are developing programs in management, hospitality/tourism specialties, electrical technology, TV and broadcast journalism, biotechnology and other areas at this time.
