International Education Week

International Education Week 2024

International Education Week (IEW), annually observed on the third week of November, is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences.

CSUEB International Programs will host International Education Week 2022 on November 18-22, 2024.

CSUEB Study Abroad will provide an information session for students interested in studying overseas and how to pay for it.  After a quick overview of all the places you can go to get a cultural experience and academic credit while studying abroad/away, we will discuss scholarships and finances so you understand the financial commitment and how affordable study abroad can be. Attending an information session does not commit you to study abroad but it does give you the tools to find the program and funding options that best fits your academic and financial needs.
