By International Programs, October 14, 2025


Year after year Green River College international students gain admission to the top 100 universities across the United States and abroad.

International students come to Green River for their first two years of higher education in the United States. They adjust to U.S. life and culture, work hard academically, and have wonderful options for university transfer upon graduation.

For 2025, The University of Washington (ranked #8 in US News World Ranking) was our most popular transfer destination – 22 Green River College international graduates will begin classes at the University of Washington in Fall 2025. The University of California (UC) schools also attracted high interest. An additional 15 students will continue at UC schools in Fall 2025, with the most popular campus being UC – San Diego (ranked #21 in US News World Ranking).

Many international students attend Green River for our specialized academic programs, including our well-regarded aviation program. After completing the required coursework and training, 4 international students are transferring to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ranked #4 in Aerospace Universities in US News Rankings) for Fall 2025. Finally, our Art & Design students transferred to some of the top programs in the country, including the California College of the Arts and the Savannah College of Art and Design.
