International Opportunities

Overview

You don't have to study abroad to be involved in international opportunities at Santa Fe College. The Office of International Education (OIE) hosts several international lectures, events, virtual exchanges, and global photography contests on campus every semester that are open to all SF students, faculty and staff.

To broaden global perspectives while attending SF, students are encouraged to participate in the Global Scholars Program, an academic honor earned by completing courses with strong international content and engaging in activities that broaden your understanding of international peoples, places and cultures.

Events

OIE hosts and is represented at many events each semester. These events are great opportunities for students to learn about international activities and how to get involved in them.

International Virtual Exchanges

OIE offers a number of international virtual exchange opportunities for students to participate in each semester. These exchanges connect SF students to international students in countries like Ukraine, Brazil, Indonesia, and more. They are wonderful opportunities to learn about new cultures, share your own culture, and develop useful global skills like cross-cultural communication.

All of virtual exchanges are worth Global Scholars Program activity points.
