The International Center assists U.S. students going abroad, as well as international students, scholars, and families, and facilitates interaction among all UC San Diego students, faculty, and staff with international interests. The International Center’s mission is to promote and support international exchange and education, and to

• Provide the UC San Diego community with experiences that foster global perspectives, cross-cultural competence, and appreciation for diversity.
• Support UC San Diego international students, scholars, and study abroad participants with services that enhance the quality of their intercultural experience and contribute to their academic success.
• Facilitate UC San Diego’s participation in global scholarship and international educational exchange.

The International Center is made up of four distinct offices: the Programs Abroad Office (PAO), the International Students & Programs Office (ISP), the International Scholar Office (ISO), and the Dean’s Office. Each office has its own focus.

PAO serves the needs of all UC San Diego students. It helps those thinking about education abroad to learn about the options available, and it guides students through the process of applying to a program, going abroad, and returning. Orientation and advising are offered at every step of the way. For more information visit http://pao.ucsd.edu.

The International Students & Programs Office (ISPO) offers a wide array of services and programs for international students and their dependents at UC San Diego in an effort to support their legal stay in the U.S. and to help them achieve their personal, academic, and professional goals. In addition, ISPO provides a variety of high-quality programs and cross-cultural activities designed to help international students successfully integrate at UC San Diego and in the local community and to provide opportunities for all UC San Diego students to gain experiences that foster the development of international knowledge, skills, and sensitivities. For more information visit http://istudents.ucsd.edu.

The International Scholar Office (ISO) is the office of record for all international scholars. ISO represents the university in all regulatory matters concerning international scholars and is exclusively authorized to file applications and petitions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. ISO advises academic departments on visa selection for employing and hosting international faculty, researchers, and short-term visitors. ISO provides orientation for international scholars and their dependents and ongoing advising and information for a variety of issues related to immigration, personal, and acculturation matters.

The Friends of the International Center is a dedicated group of community volunteers who work with staff to create programs and outreach activities to support our students and scholars in their efforts to succeed, and to enrich the experiences of internationals and their dependents while at UC San Diego. Among some of the most successful outreach and volunteer programs at the International Center are the Friday Cafés, the Friends Resale Shop (raising approximately $20,000 annually for international education scholarships), language tutoring, Wednesday Morning Coffee (for spouses), and the energetic International Club.
