Study Abroad
By exploring the world, students discover themselves.
Studying abroad is an unparalleled opportunity for students to earn class credit, experience another culture, see the world, and meet new people. Way more than just a summer trip, studying abroad can be life and career changing.
But the majority of CSUB students need financial assistance to attend school, and studying abroad is an extra expense that many cannot afford. Your support will open up a world of possibilities for students — and when they return home to the Bakersfield and Antelope Valley regions, they will bring their rich insight with them.
