Most California State University campuses welcome the applications of international students. As an international student you may be interested in starting a bachelor's degree, a graduate degree or in some cases an ESL (English as a Second Language) program.

International students include those who hold U.S. visas as students, exchange visitors, or other nonimmigrant classifications.

The application process for international students is different from resident students. Be sure to review all of the pages in this section to understand the basics of applying as an international student. Some campuses or majors may restrict enrollment of nonresident students due to heavy enrollment demands.
