CSU International Program Opportunities

Developing intercultural communication skills and international understanding among its students is a vital mission of the California State University (CSU).  Since its inception in 1963, the CSU International Programs (CSU IP) has contributed to this effort by providing qualified students an affordable opportunity to continue their studies abroad for a full academic year in all programs and a semester option in some countries and programs.

More than 20,000 CSU students have taken advantage of this unique option.  Also, through the CSU IP exchange partnerships, more than 5000 international students have come to study at the CSU campuses.

International Programs participants earn resident academic credit at their CSU campuses while they pursue full-time study at a host university or student center abroad.  CSU IP serves the needs of students in more than 100 designated academic majors.  Affiliated with 70 recognized universities and institutions of higher education in 18 countries, CSU IP also offers a wide selection of study abroad destinations and learning environments.

Students participating in CSU IP pay CSU tuition and program fees, and are responsible for airfare, accommodations, meals, and other personal expenses.  Financial aid, with the exception of Federal Work-Study, is available to qualified students and limited scholarship opportunities are also available.  All programs require students to maintain good academic and disciplinary standing, many programs are open to sophomores or graduate students.  California Community College transfer students are eligible to apply (to select programs) directly from their community colleges.  Students must possess a current cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or 3.0, depending on the program, and must fulfill all coursework prerequisites.  Additional program information and application instructions can be found on the International Programs Website.
