International Programs. The university encourages global understanding through academic exchange and cooperation. Toward this end, the university has partnerships with universities around the globe. Institutions in more than 20 countries offer Fresno faculty, staff, or students opportunities for teaching, research, or study abroad, or they send their faculty, staff, or students to this campus.
A faculty advisory council works with International Programs to provide international experiences.
For further details, refer to the Web site at http://www.csufresno.edu/International_Programs.
Study Abroad for Students. Several programs allow students to complete part of their studies in other countries.
The university offers two "semester abroad" programs:
- The London Semester
- The Greece Semester
- The Armenian Semester
Fresno faculty lead short-term travel study programs to other countries each summer and winter break.
Through CSU International Programs and through the University Studies Abroad Consortium, students have a wide range of study abroad opportunities.
(See International Programs - Special Programs.)
Faculty/Staff Opportunities. Partnerships with universities in other countries provide ways for campus faculty and staff to teach or pursue research abroad, attend international conferences, or offer special training overseas. Positions with study abroad offer enriching international experiences in programs such as Visiting Professors or Resident Directors, as well as in a variety of fellowship programs (Fulbright, Rotary, CSU International Programs, University Studies Abroad Consortium).
Visiting Scholars. Each year departments and colleges host visiting scholars from other countries who engage in research, offer lectures, and enrich the campus with their expertise.
