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.
