New Website Launched for International Students

The site will serve a growing international student population.

The San Mateo County Community College District has launched a new website to better serve the growing international student population. The International Student Website will help students learn about academic programs, the application process, cost, housing and other issues.

The San Mateo County Community Colleges offer quality, low cost programs with award-wining faculty, a diverse student body and provide individual attention to all international students. International student academic counselors work individually with students to ensure success. The beautiful campuses have gorgeous panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay Area. The campuses are located in safe communities, between the world class city of San Francisco and high tech capital of the world, Silicon Valley. The student to faculty ratio at the three colleges is 1:30. Students enjoy small class sizes and dedicated attention from faculty who have doctoral and masters' degrees.

If you are an international student interested in studying at Cañada College in the fall, you can visit the Cañada College International Student Website for more detailed information. You can also contact Cañada's International Students Coordinator by e-mail at stalker@smccd.edu or by phone at (650) 306-3494.
