Shorelight’s personalized programs will support the recruitment, retention and success of international students at BC, as well as elevate the global presence of the college. While at BC, the student-centered support will continue through orientation sessions specifically for international students, academic advising and guidance on immigration and visa status.

As a result of the new partnership, BC’s undergraduate programs will become more accessible to international students.

Bridgewater College will welcome its first program cohort in fall of 2023.
