We also host unique and quintessentially “SoCal” events to get you connected to your new community! Past events include:

Why Cypress College?

Cypress College is a two-year community college. So, what does that mean for you as an international student? It means you get the opportunity to study full college-level coursework as you prepare to transfer to a four-year college or university. It also means that you can earn an associate degree (a fully recognized academic credential, separate from a bachelor’s degree) before you transfer. So, earn a solo associate degree, or transfer and earn your bachelor’s degree.

And because the ISP has dedicated academic counselors to help you plan your academic journey, if you commit and lock into your studies, you won’t lose time or credits when you transfer! That’s two full degrees in the time it takes most just to earn their bachelor’s degree!
