An Overview of SF State Bilateral Exchange Programs

 

Bilateral literally means directly between two entities, and in the case of the SF State Bilateral programs, means direct exchanges between SF State and foreign partner universities. SF State Bilateral Programs are available only to SF State students and many Bilateral Programs offers semester options.


Bilateral Exchanges offer these special features:

  • No overseas tuition or administrative costs are charged; students pay only regular SF State tuition.
  • Students are enrolled for an academic year or semester at a host university and earn resident credit for their coursework.
  • All campus financial aid is applicable overseas.
  • On-site assistance by a host university and/or staff.
