The College of Arts & Sciences encourages and welcomes the international engagement of our students and faculty. Scroll down to see all programs the college has to offer all students at Georgia State University! The name of each program links to its application, and the name associated with each program is its director, who you can email for more details.
There are two types of international experiences to enhance your time at Georgia State.
Faculty-led summer programs are short-term, usually offered in the Maymester and Summer sessions. GSU faculty members design and lead the program, and GSU students travel, take classes, and go on cultural excursions together.
Exchange programs allow students to spend a semester or academic year at a partner university abroad. Students travel on their own, take classes with local students, and experience life in another country. GSU program directors assist students with preparations, but exchange students are expected to be much more independent.
Financial aid and scholarships can be used to pay for official GSU faculty-led summer programs and exchange programs. Though classes are taken abroad, students earn resident credit. Please see the list of international programs offered to students by the College of Arts & Sciences below.
