Articulation Programs

International articulations are formal relationships established between San Francisco State University (SFSU) and another university, college or educational institution overseas to enable students to begin their academic studies at their own university before transferring to SFSU to complete their academic work and to earn a SFSU degree. These partnerships are commonly referred to as a 1+3 or 2+2 etc. Articulation agreements are subject to a careful examination of the syllabus taught at the partner university to determine course equivalencies.

Exchange Programs

SFSU conducts exchanges through the California State University International Programs (CSU) and direct exchange agreements with individual universities (Exchange).   

If your university is a CSU partner, you must make special justification why SFSU is the best CSU campus for you to attend on your application to the CSU. Questions regarding participation in an exchange program at SFSU should be directed to the international office at your home institution. 

If your university is not listed below, you are not eligible to come as an exchange student. You may come as a matriculated student by applying as an F-1 international student directly to the university.
