Overview
Faculty-Led Study Abroad (FLSA) programs are short-term,
international experiences designed for students who would like to
study abroad – and stay on track for graduation – but
cannot spend an entire semester or academic year abroad. These
programs allow students to infuse international, intercultural,
and global dimensions into their academic experience. Programs
vary in length, and classes are taught by Sacramento State
faculty. Contact us to
learn more about applying to study abroad programs.

Sac State curriculum
