• We currently have Fowler students studying abroad this term!
• As the pandemic is not yet over, students are encouraged to remain flexible and have a contingency plan just in case programs are postponed, cancelled, and/or changed to virtual formats at later date.
• Students should not book any accommodations or flights until they have received confirmation regarding their onsite program. 
• Winter 2022 SDSU onsite Global Seminar programs (formerly SDSU Faculty-Led programs), Course-embedded, Transborder and Academic-related travel are currently suspended.
• For questions, reach out to the SDSU Global Education Office and/or meet with the Global Education Office via Zoom-by Virtual walk-ins.

• SDSU also has many virtual international programs that do not require travel. 
• See the Global Education Office via Zoom-by Virtual walk-ins to brainstorm ideas to be "glocal" (globally local) or pursue postgraduate international opportunities.

• The ideal time for Business majors (except for Accounting majors) to study abroad for a semester or year is the first or second semester of Junior year (first year of upper division courses). Accounting Majors are encouraged to participate in a semester or year program earlier than their junior year.

• SDSU also offers credit-bearing virtual internships, as well as non-credit bearing Volunteer and/or Service-Learning opportunities during the Winter and Summer breaks. Each program type has varied minimum eligibility requirements.

No, it is not a requirement for Fowler students to participate in an international program, but it is highly encouraged to do so!
