F1 Community College

Learning Beyond Borders recruits and assists international students for our local Saddleback Community College. It is a college where students can receive AA degrees and transfer to a university across the US after a few semesters. Students who successfully transfer and complete the degree requirements of the university will receive a degree from the university of their choice. It is a great choice for a student to ease into the language and academic demands of universities and the different way of life.
