Study Abroad
Studying abroad offers students the unique opportunity to not only enhance their linguistic competencies, but to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of a foreign culture. Through course work, extracurricular activities and the adventures of daily life in a foreign country, students will come away from their experience with a more complex and real world understanding of their host country and its culture.
All majors are required to complete a minimum of 6 units in an approved study abroad in a European country.
Information about other programs can be found at the SDSU Office of International Programs.
"Participating in the European Studies department allowed me to work closely with
professors with relevant experience in the field. I was given an opportunity to expand
my own experiences through the study abroad program and an internship in Italian studies.
The courses were diverse and focused on practical knowledge and critical thinking,
providing a solid foundation for my graduate studies and career working with international
students."
-Christina Clopton (class of 2013)
"My study abroad experience was important to me because I was able to live the day
to day life of a real French student and experience a culture that is different than
that in the US."
-Mikayla Sibner (class of 2014)
"There's so much pride and courage in being an exchange student and the atmosphere
here on Mannheim encompasses all of those feelings. It's been one of the best decisions
I've made to study abroad."
-Meghri Sarkissian
"Studying in Oxford was an educating, wonderful and unforgettable experience that
allowed me to learn so much more about myself, it opened my eyes to the new world
of academic and personal development. Meeting wonderful professors and many other
interesting people with different backgrounds gave me an opportunity to see the world
through new eyes and to appreciate the richness that it has to offer."
