Welcome to the School of
Graduate, International,
and Interdisciplinary
Studies (GIIS)


The School of GIIS is comprised of seven units that enhance the University’s academic offerings. We provide support for over thirty master’s programs that prepare students to meet the needs of the increasingly complex and technical world of the 21st century.


Our international programs bring the world to Chico and allow California State University, Chico students to experience the world while earning credits toward their degrees.


We offer students and international professionals the opportunity for hands-on experience through internships and professional training programs. Our academic programs provide students the opportunity to study across disciplinary boundaries.
