International Students are welcome to apply for the BASSP program. You will need to have transcripts evaluated by a Cascadia approved evaluator (if transferring from a Non-US school) and English language placements with Cascadia's international programs department. The program begins in early September for orientation.  It is advised that you plan arrival or attendance taking this in mind.  Please contact the Assistant Director of Sustainable Practices with questions.

Students who wish to take courses without being admitted to the program (non-matriculated) may be considered on a space-available basis, following state policies for students at bachelor's level courses.
