At Cal State Fullerton, we advocate for and encourage global education. International and exchange students from more than 90 countries, as well as study abroad students, add to the rich diversity of our student population.
International Students
The office assists international students from other countries with special orientation programs upon their arrival, academic and personal advisement and immigration information. A group of community volunteers in the “American Family Friends” program helps make Cal State Fullerton a home away from home for international students.
Other programs offer community service and leadership development opportunities for all students. These range from volunteer opportunities with the International Student Orientation Program to the International Student Association. Please visit our office or website for details on how you can get involved in these programs.
Study Abroad (www.fullerton.edu/studyabroad)
Get connected to the world . . . Nearly every student returning from studying abroad describes their experience in virtually the same way:
- "Life-changing…the best experience of my college career!”
- “I met so many amazing people!”
- “Now I can actually speak Spanish (or Italian, French, Japanese, Korean, etc.).”
Why do so many students say the most fulfilling semester of their college experience was spent studying abroad? The “study abroad experience" is a process that takes them out of their daily routines and challenges them in many ways. Study abroad helps students to develop new understandings, habits, beliefs, and a more sophisticated appreciation of the world. Frequently, they even return home with a better idea of the direction they want to take in life. Cal State Fullerton provides opportunities for its students around the globe; the Study Abroad Office is here to help! Visit the Study Abroad website to learn more. It is never too early to begin planning to study abroad!
