Program Information : ISCOR Spotlight Universities

The University of Stockholm

The ISCOR Program and the SDSU Office of International Programs would like to draw your attention to a unique opportunity to study during the fall or spring at the University of Stockholm. As many of you know, Stockholm is one of the most attractive and cosmopolitan cities in Europe. The recent completion of Europe's longest tunnel/bridge now affords easy access to the rest of Europe.

Founded in 1878 as a college for natural science, the University of Stockholm has grown to include more than 90 undergraduate and graduate programs for 34,000 students. Courses in international affairs, economics, security and conflict resolution are available. The University has extensive research facilities and is located in Stockholm's first public park (similar to Balboa Park).

The University of Stockholm is also very affordable. SDSU students pay approximately $180 per month for on-campus accommodations and cost of living is slightly less than here in Southern California. Our students also may use their financial aid to cover costs of the program and they only pay the standard SDSU fees to participate. There is also a scholarship available to students.

Surprisingly, the University of Stockholm offers more than 300 courses taught in English. Many of these are directly related to the ISCOR Program curriculum. If you have ever been to Sweden, you know that English is a second language to most. Please review the links above to help familiarize yourself with one of SDSU's "best kept secrets" for study abroad. Deadline for applications is March 15, 2003 for Fall, October 15, 2003 for Spring.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Robert Carolin ((619) 594-1982) of the International Students Center.
