Direct International Exchanges
Direct Exchanges are programs that are run directly through the Study Abroad Office at Chico State. For each of the students that we send abroad on one of our Direct Exchanges, we also receive a student from the host institution.
Students who go abroad on these programs are expected to be much more independent, self-sufficient and autonomous. Students should expect to have a complete cultural immersion while on this program (See individual pamphlets for more information).
