Study abroad in California

Among the USA's richest and most densely populated states, California has remained a place of bustling activity and economic opportunity ever since the days of the Gold Rush and the establishment of Hollywood. Centuries of Asian and Latino immigration also provide the state with a diverse workforce that has fuelled growth in sectors like computer technology. The majority of the people live in the metropolitan cities of San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles.

For those aspiring to study in California, community colleges are an attractive proposition because of their varied academic programs which range from Design and Animation to Agribusiness. Equally sought after is the University of California (UC) which comprises the world-renowned Berkeley University and other famous institutions and offers a variety of courses besides being the only public university in California to confer doctoral degrees. There is also the California State University (CSU), which primarily offers undergraduate and advanced degrees.

Academics apart, students in California can also explore its tropical beaches, mountains, rivers and Redwood forests while also visiting fun places like the world-famous Disneyland.
