Global Education

College of Professional and Global Education (CPGE) meets SJSU’s goal of globalizing the university by bringing top international students to the university as well as providing programs to support and enhance their success. Just as the college welcomes and supports innovators from abroad, we also provide SJSU students with global experiences that make them into dynamic global citizens, leaders and workers. In this way, CPGE powers SJSU’s global presence as Silicon Valley’s leading public university.

SJSU Response to Coronavirus

SJSU and the College of Professional and Global Education are monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus by staying current on U.S. State Department, CDC, WHO announcements as well as other pertinent information. This is a dynamic and evolving situation with short- and long-term impacts on student mobility. We know that the outbreak and spread of Coronavirus is of concern to all Spartan community members - students, families, faculty, and partners. We will continue to prioritize the needs of our students, faculty and staff to ensure their health and safety. Our commitment to welcoming international students to our campus and providing transformative global experiences for all Spartans remains unchanged.

We will contact students and partners directly if any changes are made to programs on-campus or abroad that would impact their ability to participate.
