University Semester Abroad | Cal State Fullerton

Program

University Semester Abroad (USA) is a non-degree program where international students visit the California State University, Fullerton campus for a semester or two. This experience gives them the opportunity to interact with American students, faculty and other international students. For those who are a part of the USA program, every day is an adventure in American culture - meeting new people, trying new foods, learning something new. Learn more about what our program has to offer... Many students have called it, “An Experience of a Lifetime!”

During their stay, students will have the opportunity to:

• Take university courses, earning credits that may transfer to their home university
• Live in an apartment near the university or in a dormitory
• Visit Southern California attractions such as Disneyland, Hollywood, beaches and more
• Join international groups on campus and participate in all the student events and activities

USA is designed for students who have met the TOEFL requirement or who have received high scores on placement tests. Students who choose to come without a TOEFL score and do not meet the English proficiency requirement may need to complete a semester or more of intensive English courses before enrolling in university courses.
