Community Colleges For International Students

Community colleges offer international students options to earn a degree.


Community Colleges across the United States provide international students with an opportunity to earn a degree with the option to transfer to a four-year academic institution. Although there are many that provide this opportunity for international students, not all community colleges do. These community colleges help international students with the English language and prepare them for a college education.


Georgia Perimeter College


Georgia Perimeter College admits international students and takes pride in its service to the community of international education. The academic requirements and level of proficiency in the English language required for admission vary depending on the country from which each student is moving. Students can pursue an associate degree in a variety of subject areas such as philosophy, geology, business administration and criminal justice. Students can also pursue certificate programs in areas such as sign language interpreting, fire management and library and information science technology.
