International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) is a nonprofit membership organization of 300+ institutions of higher education located throughout the United States and in more than 50 countries.
CSUEB students can apply to any ISEP-Direct program. Academic year, semester and summer programs in a variety of subjects are available depending on the location. Many English language instruction sites available. A 2.75 GPA is required for most programs.
Students participating in ISEP-Direct will pay program fees (tuition, and sometimes room & board as well) to ISEP, rather than paying tuition to CSUEB while they are abroad.

We recommend you complete your application at least one week (preferably two weeks) before ISEP's priority deadline as noted below. Once submitting your application on the ISEP website, please schedule an appointment with the CSUEB Study Abroad Office, and complete/submit the ISEP Supplemental Questionnaire.
