- Adjustment to life in America
- Adjustment to college-level academic work
- Personal issues such as roommate conflicts, homesickness, and any other problem that can interfere with your academic or social life.
- Immigration Issues (I-20s, VISAs, etc.)
- Getting Involved on campus such as joining campus organizations, sports, and other activities
- Career and transfer planning
- International Student Orientation
Focus Program
The FOCUS Program is a unique and innovative program for international students entering college in America. The program combines cultural orientation, language instruction, as well as academic classes to give the international student a holistic educational experience. The students, upon entering, will meet with a counselor who will plan an individualized course of study that will meet the level of English language and cultural support necessary for success.
