Mission Statement

The International Center Office (IC) at CSUSB is the primary contact for international students including new immigrant and permanent resident students who are nationals of other countries. The IC Office assists students upon arrival with locating temporary and permanent housing, provides an orientation to the community and the campus including information about academic requirements, immigration requirements, housing, health and support services available to the students. The IC Office also provides programs and activities to assist students with personal growth and development. Assistance and referrals are available for academic and personal counseling.

The primary goal of the Office of International Center is to assist international students to achieve their personal and professional goals; and, therefore to promote a wide range of involvement in programmatic activities which are conducive to their academic success, personal growth, leadership abilities and development.

International Center staff is expected to perform in a number of ways which are consistent with our mission:

The International Center affirms its commitment to the students we serve, their pursuits, and their programs by seeking three main goals: The preparation of students to be members of a more cohesive world; the generation of knowledge on a more global orientation; and provision of its resources to the extent feasible, to nations and to institutions involved in international education. Recognizing the value to students through its international activities, the International Center wants to assist the University in achieving and maintaining a role of leadership in the international sphere.

The International Center is currently assisting about 500 international students from 44 different countries in the world.
