Welcome, International Students
To Vanguard University of Southern California!
While at Vanguard, you will meet many different people from different backgrounds and with different goals. Our international students come from over 20 different countries from around the world and include foreign students, students with dual citizenship and missionary kids (mk’s). Some want to be entrepreneurs, musicians, or athletes. Some are hesitant, others are eager; some are quiet, while others are enthusiastic and energetic. But you all have one thing in common — the call to excellence. This will take shape in the classroom and in our community, while you are acquiring knowledge and serving God and those in need.
We understand that choosing a university is a difficult decision, but rest assured that in choosing Vanguard University you will obtain a degree from one of the finest private universities in Southern California. We invite you to become a part of our legacy -- truth, virtue and service -- to make a real difference in the world.
We look forward to serving you at Vanguard University.
Sincerely,
Rosanne Freilich
Director International Students Program
