Counselor Services for International Students:

The International Student Services is located in the heart of the Student Services Building room # 38 and has the main goal of assisting international students with adjustment to their new culture and educational system in the United states. We offer a range of services for Bakersfield College students whose primary language is not English or who are attending college on a visa or planning to study in another country.
International Student Program staff are dedicated to serving the international education needs of all Bakersfield College students. These services include facilitating the admission process, providing pre-arrival information, academic advising and counseling, personal concerns, immigration advising, university transfer planning, specialized orientation programs, and cultural adjustment programs. Our motto is to provide professional, caring services while providing our students a world of opportunities.
