Bilateral Program Partners
Cal State Fullerton has partner universities all over the world. Currently there are several student exchange partnerships that allow CSUF students to spend anywhere from a summer up to one year abroad studying at a partner institution.
- Pros:
- No extra tuition costs
- Resident units
- Full financial aid (except work study)
- Cons:
- Limited majors
- Limited Countries
Students pay the same tuition fees they would pay if studying at CSUF; however students are responsible for paying additional expenses such as housing and airfare. All financial aid (except for work study) can be applied to the costs of studying abroad and there are many scholarships students can apply for. All credits earned on any of the Bilateral Exchange Programs will be awarded as residence credits, showing up directly on a student's CSUF transcript.
- Application Deadlines:
- Fall — March 1
- Summer — April 1
- Spring — October 1
