Students may select several shorter experiences that add up to four weeks total with approval from the department head. However, a semester or academic year abroad is highly recommended.
Exceptions to the cross cultural experience must be pre-approved by the department head.
International students may petition for an exemption from the cross-cultural experience.
Credits may be applied to another requirement when appropriate.
Academic credit will be considered only from an accredited institution or through an international exchange program approved by SDSU.
All students must have the approval before beginning the cross cultural experience.
