The CSU Office of International Programs (CSU IP) was founded in 1963 to provide students with the opportunity to study abroad
and improve their intercultural communication skills. Operating as a systemwide department of the CSU Chancellor's Office,
CSU IP established its first programs in France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan.
After nearly a decade of development under director Tom Lantos, the International Programs saw success through growing enrollments,
an expanding roster of programs, and reinforced academic and administrative procedures. The creation of the Advisory Committee
for International Programs, which would be replaced by the Academic Council of International Programs (ACIP), promoted CSU
campus participation in the development of policy concerning International Programs and ensured communication between the
department and campuses.
Currently, the International Programs is affiliated with more than 70 recognized universities and institutions of higher education
in 18 countries, and has admitted over 15,000 students in the CSU system.
This collection was processed in 2023 by Levi Escalante and edited by Coryn Hardison. The records within the collection were
first organized by each international program, then sorted chronologically. Materials that did not pertain to an individual
program were placed into the Office of International Programs series.
