THE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
PURPOSE
The International Programs of the California State Colleges
have been established to provide qualified California State
College students with the opportunity to attend selected institu-
tions of higher learning in foreign countries. The Programs con-
stitute a unique arrangement whereby a publicly-supported
educational institution provides study abroad as an integral part
of its academic program.
A primary objective of the Programs is to prepare a selected
group of superior students for full participation in a modern
society which demands, especially for Americans, an unusual
degree of knowledge and understanding of the rest of the world.
The experience cf a full year of serious study in a foreign en-
vironment will provide the beginning of a deeper insight into
both the complexities and the essential similarities of modern
human societies.
A second objective of the Programs is to pravide the superior
student with an opportunity to increase, often dramatically, his
ability to communicate with people of other countries through
the intensive study of foreign languages and through immersion
in other cultures. This goal is particularly relevant to those stu-
dents who are planning careers as teachers in foreign languages,
in world literature, and in other subject areas related to inter-
national studies.
A third objective of the Programs is to assist in fulfilling the
role of the United States as a leading world power by training
studento who are planning careers in various government and
private organizations dealing primarily with foreign countries.
The Programs provide for a full year of academic study
abroad and are designed so that there will be a minimum of
interruption in each student's progress toward his educational
goals. The Programs are voluntary, cooperative, and system-

THE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
wide in character, and they are open to all qualified present and
former students of the California State Colleges. They are de-
signed as bona fide academic undertakings, with clearly defined
educational and professional objectives. They are entirely free
from any commercial tour arrangements, and no academic credit
is given for travel per se.
A BRIEF HISTORY
The international Programs were established in 1963 accord-
ing to guidelines approved by the Trustees of the California
State Colleges. Programs were inaugurated at the beginning of
the 1963-64 academic year at the University of Heidelberg and
the Free University of Berlin in Germany, at the University of
Aix-Marseille in France, at the University of Madrid in Spain, at
the University of Stockholm in Sweden, and at the National
University in Taiwan.
During the 1964-65 academic year, additional Programs were
opened in Spain at the University of Granada, in Sweden at the
University of Uppsala, and in Japan at Waseda University in
Tokyo. Ira 1966-67 another Program study center was estab-
lished at the University of Florence in Italy.
During the first five years of operation, a total of more than
1,000 students from the California State Colleges have partic-
ipated in the Programs.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration of the International Programs is the re-
sponsibility of the Office of International Programs, located on
the campus of San Francisco State College.
A statewide board, composed of one faculty member from
each of the California State Colleges, serves as an advisory body
to the Programs.

THE INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
In each of the host countries overseas, the Programs are
under the direction of a faculty member from one of the Cali-
fornia State Colleges who serves as Resident Director. The
Resident Director is the official representative of the Programs
administrative,
overseas, and he is in charge of all academic,
and advising aspects of the Programs abroad. He also serves
California State
as liaison between the host university and the
Colleges.
