International Students

International students are welcome to attend CCA’s Pre-College Program. Students in past years have come from France, Mexico, Poland, Thailand, Turkey, and many other countries. Pre-College is a wonderful way to pursue your artwork while experiencing American culture and college life.

International students must have strong English language skills; the program is conducted in English only.

If you are applying from a country where English is not the primary language, you must submit a letter from a school counselor or English teacher that describes your skills in listening to, speaking, reading, and writing English. If you have completed the TOEFL, TOEIC, or IELTS, those scores should be submitted with the letter.

Non-U.S. citizens who are admitted to CCA´s Pre-College Program are not eligible to obtain an international student (F1) visa since they are non-degree seeking students. They can apply for a tourist (B) visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate.

In order for international students to make travel and visa arrangements, they will be notified of admission and housing decisions two weeks after all required application materials are received.
