More than 3,000 international students from 100 different countries already call CSULB home. CSULB provides an exceptional student experience through nationally recognized academic programs and personalized support services.

CSU Long Beach doesn't just have a large beautiful campus; it is a diverse and welcoming community. With such a diverse student profile, international students have often told us that at CSULB they feel like they completely belong.
