- A basic understanding of Immigration and Naturalization Services rules and regulations.

Study Abroad
The Study Abroad unit of IPS oversees the study abroad programs available to degree-seeking University students, which includes the following:
- Offering learning experiences beyond the classroom for all students at Pacific.
- Assuring that study abroad courses, in consultation with the IPS Faculty Advisory Committee, meet the same academic standards as courses on the Stockton campus.
- Selecting study abroad participants.
- Ensuring that each participant who studies abroad for at least a semester completes an extensive, eight-week course in Cross-Cultural Training prior to going abroad.
Students returning from a study abroad experience also are offered a re-entry course called Cross Cultural Training II. This program helps them to incorporate their experience abroad into their academic program at Pacific.
