. The Informational
Program (IP) is sponsored by the
United States Government and is
designed to familiarize international
students with American society,
institutions, history, and goals.
It is funded from international
tuition and includes numerous
local and regional trips. Local
events include the Monterey County
Fair, The Salinas Rodeo, the Salinas
Air Show, and the Monterey Aquarium.
We also sponsor quarterly trips
to San Francisco, and visits to
Stanford University and the University
of California at Berkeley. Three
trips to our state capitol, Sacramento,
are also conducted each year;
as are several trips to our state
parks to include one of our most
picturesque national landmarks,
Yosemite National Park. The program
also includes two or three trips

side trips to the Gettysburg battlefield
