SJSU's Study Abroad Fair

Learn about opportunities for studying, traveling, working and volunteering abroad
Speak to students who have returned from studying abroad or speak to students who are currently studying at SJSU as exchange students from partner universities.

Study Abroad Fair takes place each Fall and Spring semester and reaches more than 1000 students each year. It serves to highlight programs offered through the International Programs and Services Office and exposes students to a wide range of campus organizations and outside vendors that provide study, travel and work abroad opportunities. The variety of participants allows students to choose a program best suited to their academic and personal goals and helps inform them of the diversity of options in international education today.

The Spring 2012 Fair will have various faculty members in attendance in order to promote their specialized short-term programs that they lead abroad for SJSU credit during the summer and winter terms. Ask a faculty member about studying on one of these programs! Faculty-led programs take place in variety of destinations, including Australia, Belize, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Finland, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.
