Informasi singkat Foothill and De Anza College:
Foothill and De Anza are two community colleges offering the first two
years of a university Bachelor's degree on two campuses located in the
heart of Silicon Valley. We are one system with two locations that are
five minutes apart. De Anza has a total enrollment of 24,000, and
Foothill has 18,000 students. Together, we enroll 2,500 international
students from almost 100 countries and are very popular with students
coming from Indonesia. Both of our colleges rank among the top
community colleges in the U.S., and we are charter members of the
prestigious League for Innovation in Community Colleges. Students
study with us for two years, and then transfer into their third year
at the university to complete their Bachelor's degree. Currently, 47%
of all students in the United States who begin higher education do so
at a community college.
There are four primary reasons so many do this. First, it costs a lot
less. The annual tuition is around $5,500US per year. Second,
admission is a lot more flexible. We're looking for students with at
least a 61 (Next Generation) or 173 (computer-based) or 500
(paper-based) TOEFL and average or better results from secondary
school. For Indonesians educated in the British system, we will accept
"O" level students. Third, the class sizes are small, and are all
taught by regular professors, not teaching assistants like in
universities. There is considerably more individualized attention both
within the classroom and through the extra support that we offer just
for international students. And fourth, and most important, it's
easier to get into the third year of a highly selective university
than it is to get into the first year, especially if a student is
transferring with good grades from a highly regarded community college
like Foothill or De Anza. We are #1 in transfer to the University of
California and California State University systems and will be sending
70 international students this fall to Berkeley. That's far more than
any other community college! In addition, last year we sent almost 40
to UCLA, almost 20 to USC, and others to Stanford, Yale, Carnegie
Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown and Northwestern! So, Foothill
or De Anza end up being a great way to complete the first two
undergraduate years at less expense, and transfer to earn a Bachelor's
degree from competitive American university!
