:: International Exchange ::
A number of Cal Poly colleges and departments have individual exchange agreements with a variety of universities on six of the world's continents. Students in departments or colleges with exchange agreements have an opportunity for a low-cost study abroad experience within their own academic discipline. Another advantage of the exchanges is that they are easily arranged, with minimal red tape. If you qualify for one of these exchanges, you, by paying only your Cal Poly fees, become eligible to spend up to one year at an overseas university with all the rights and privileges of any regularly enrolled student. For an exchange to take place, there must be an interest at the chosen overseas university for one of their students to come and study at Cal Poly during the same academic year.
