Office of the Executive Director for International Programs
In recognition of the rapidly expanding number and importance of international activities on the San Diego State University
campus, the University has created the Office of the Executive Director for International Programs with specific responsibility
for coordinating and facilitating the development of the diverse international programs and mission of the University. The
executive director serves as the University's primary contact person for international programs and represents the University
on international matters to external agencies and institutions. In addition to coordinating all international faculty and student
exchange programs, the Office for International Programs serves as an information clearinghouse regarding international
projects, funding opportunities, and academic programs and services that have an international component.
International Faculty Exchanges
In order to enhance the international character of instruction and research, San Diego State University has developed a
continuing program of faculty exchange with foreign universities. Currently, the University has formal arrangements to
exchange professors periodically with universities in Western and Eastern Europe, Canada, East Asia, Latin America, Africa,
and the Middle East. Over 100 international scholars visit the San Diego State University campus each year to pursue scholarly
research, participate in academic or professional programs, and share their international perspectives with the university
community.
International Student Exchanges
In addition to the CSU International Programs, San Diego State University has entered into special institutional arrangements
with selected foreign universities that provide both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity for study abroad.
Currently San Diego State University has student exchange agreements with universities in Australia, France, Germany,
Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the People's Republic of China, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
