The International Student Support Program is designed to help international students reach their academic and personal goals!

Academic Programs

Santa Barbara City College values and supports international students. The International Student Support Program is organized into two components; the English Language Studies Program and the International Student Academic Program.

ESL - The ELSP Program, which is designed for students who would like to study English as a second language, is an intensive language program for beginning to advanced level students who wish to improve their English skills before taking other college/university courses.

ISAP - The second is the ISAP (International Student Academic Program) for those students who are prepared to take non-ESL academic courses. The goal of these programs is to provide each student the opportunity to benefit from a high-quality academic curriculum while providing support with academic planning, activities, and immigration/visa concerns. SBCC offers a diverse array of programs and courses, many of which transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

NO TOEFL REQUIRED.
