Graduate Students

 

In theory, most SDSU exchange programs are open to graduate students.  However, you will need to get "pre-approval" for any coursework you wish to take abroad by completing the Graduate Academic Approval Form

Please visit the Transcripts section of this website for further instructions on credit transfer.

Graduate Academic Approval Form

For further information, please consult the Graduate Bulletin under Regulations of the Graduate Division regarding Transfer, Extension, and Foreign University Credit:

For most masters degree programs, the maximum transferable course credit is 9 units including courses taken through San Diego State University College of Extended Studies. All transfer credit earned in other colleges and universities including foreign universities and those earned through the San Diego State University College of Extended Studies must be approved by the graduate adviser and graduate dean. Credit earned by correspondence, by examination, or by extension at other institutions is not acceptable as satisfying advanced degree requirements.
