Study Abroad

The International Business program currently has exchange agreements with universities in the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Spain, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Please refer to Blackboard for a complete list of participating universities.

International Business majors participating in an exchange program usually satisfy 12-15 units of their degree requirements. Nearly all programs are exchange agreements: while you are abroad, someone from the foreign university is at SDSU and both of you only pay fees to your home university.

Preparing to Study Abroad....

If you've decided you want to participate in a life changing study abroad program for the IB major....your first step is to attend the Study Abroad Information Session at least one year prior to the intended study abroad term (i.e. if you want to study abroad in the SP12 semester, you need to attend the meeting in the SP11 term).

Please refer to Blackboard for a list of upcoming Study Abroad Information Session dates, or contact the IB Office.
