Study Abroad

Short-Term Study Abroad provides students with the opportunity to study and explore different cultures around the world. Through this program, SFSU seeks to cultivate a diverse global community and global partnerships. Please note: SFSU students participating in Short-Term Study Abroad are not eligible for financial aid.

Notice

The College of Professional & Global Education will be suspending Faculty-Led Study Abroad following summer 2025. We thank all of the dedicated faculty who have made, and continue to make, these trips possible for our students. For information about ongoing opportunities to teach abroad, please contact the Division of International Education.

SFSU Faculty

Study Abroad programs also provide an opportunity for SFSU faculty to expand their field of knowledge, gain international teaching experience, and reconnect/establish ties with overseas colleagues while helping to build a more international curriculum by leading a cohort of students overseas and teaching an SFSU course relevant to the country of stay.
