Study Abroad

To apply for a study abroad program, students should schedule an appointment with a member of the GEO staff. After deciding on a study abroad opportunity, students need to submit a study abroad application to GEO. Programs are available for credit and not for credit. Also, students can register for Chicago State University (CSU) officially sponsored programs or programs provided by another institution or organization.

International Students

International students at Chicago State University have to meet additional criteria in addition to the standard graduate admissions criteria. Please reference the admissions section of this catalog to see what is needed for admissions to the university. Upon being admitted to CSU, international students will work with GEO to obtain any needed immigration documents. International students are also required to attend a new international student orientation at the beginning of their first semester of enrollment at CSU. GEO is the unit responsible for providing immigration advising to international students throughout their entire time of enrollment at CSU.
