International Education

State Center Community College District offers a rich educational opportunity for the international student. With over 200 areas of study and an affordable tuition rate, international students can graduate from one of our colleges or centers with a certificate of completion or an associate degree. International students may also transfer to a four-year university after completing their transfer requirements at SCCCD.

SCCCD offers international students the experience of a large college at Fresno City College with an enrollment of 20,000, or a small campus experience with a rural environment at Reedley College, as well as opportunities for classes at our other centers.

Group of International Students

Fresno City College
Founded in 1910, Fresno City College was the first community college in California. Over 200 international students attend Fresno City College per year from countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Korea, India, Taiwan, Thailand, China, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, and Canada. Popular majors include Business, Information Systems (IS), Graphic Design, Accounting, Engineering, Criminology, Psychology, Communication Arts/Journalism, and Nursing. International students take advantage of many student services at Fresno City College such as athletics, cultural clubs, health services, the honors program, and more.

Reedley College
Located near the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and the Kings River, Reedley College offers a range of educational opportunities from traditional classrooms and science laboratories, to state-of-the-art training facilities.

A 20,000 square-foot aviation hanger houses one of only 18 certified aviation maintenance programs in California, a 600-acre forest at Sequoia Lake poses a challenge for forestry students, and a 300-acre farm provides an outdoor classroom for agriculture students.
