Segment III

Study Abroad Segment III

One of the most profound ways to experience cultural diversity is by living in another culture for an extended period of time. Students who study abroad with a CSU-sponsored or SFSU bilateral program can choose to fulfill the Segment III general education requirements as a part of their study abroad program.

Basic requirements

Students must complete a minimum of nine units of courses, including a minimum of three upper-division courses in the host country and the one-credit course AU 694 upon their return to SFSU. The upper-division courses must come from both humanities and social science disciplines.

This website should provide information about the cluster for students who are interested in participating in the program and faculty members who have been approached to be faculty mentors for AU 694. If you read through the website and have further questions, please contact Trevor Getz, Cluster Coordinator tgetz@sfsu.edu.
