While we try to make the application process for studying abroad as straight forward as possible, there are many moving parts. In addition to CSUB’s application and requirements to study abroad, some programs also have specific requirements and additional applications that must be completed. Also, you must have secured a passport prior to traveling abroad. This is a somewhat complicated task all its own.
Here we’ve compiled a step-by-step roadmap and related resources to help guide you through the application process.
Before You Apply
There’s significant work to be done before you apply to study abroad – including securing your passport. This list will help ensure nothing gets overlooked as you prepare to select and apply to a study abroad program.
Obtaining a Passport

How to Apply
Applying to study abroad can differ significantly by program. Our how to apply guide will take you through the standard steps necessary to complete the CSUB and program-specific applications.
Application Dates and Deadlines
Each of our programs types — year-long, semester, short-term, etc. — have different deadlines throughout the year. Be sure to keep these deadlines in mind and allow plenty of time to complete your application.
