The International Services unit of IPS serves international students, scholars and temporary international employees at Pacific. International Services provides them with:
- A basic understanding of Immigration and Naturalization Services rules and regulations.
- The skills to successfully adapt to the culture and academic system of the United States.
Education Abroad
The Education Abroad unit of IPS oversees the education abroad programs available to degree-seeking University students, which includes the following:
- Offering learning experiences beyond the classroom for all students at Pacific.
- Assuring that education abroad courses, in consultation with the IPS Faculty Advisory Committee, meet the same academic standards as courses on the Stockton campus.
- Selecting education abroad participants.
- Ensuring that each participant of a Pacific-approved education abroad program completes an extensive, eight-week course in Cross-Cultural Training prior to going abroad.
Students returning from an education abroad experience are also offered a re-entry course called Cross Cultural Training II. This program helps them to incorporate their experience abroad into their academic program at Pacific.
