*Represents top 10 international student population
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, south of San Francisco, Foothill and De Anza Colleges provide students with the opportunity to build the foundation for a successful future. Our students transfer into the third year of prestigious universities, such as UC Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford, USC, MIT, Columbia, and more. We are #1 for sending students to the University of California (UC). We offer flexible admission to over 100 majors, and guaranteed or preferred admission to 18 universities, including 7 University of California campuses.
FHDArequires that students applying directly from high school to be at least 16 years old and have completed high school by the time of our orientation. We do not offer a “high school completion” program.
Proof of English proficiency is required. Our minimum scores for regular admission are - TOEFL 61 iBT / IELTS 5.5. Students who attend an international school where English is the primary medium of instruction may be eligible for an exemption.
We offer extensive support services, including a Transfer Center, International Transfer Counselors, tutoring, Disability Resource Center, International Student Programs, and more.
Both campuses offer clubs and activities, an honors program, campus abroad courses, learning communities, and unique, hands-on learning opportunities through initiatives such as the Entrepreneurship Center and the Cheeseman Environmental StudyArea.
