Faculty-led programs

SFSU faculty have led programs in foreign countries. These programs are administered by the College of Global and Professional Education and their application process is separate from SF State Abroad programs.

Jared Lai, a fourth-year psychology student, was part of a psychology service-learning program in Summer 2023, at Woosong University in Daejeon, South Korea.

“Our goal in Korea was to teach preschoolers and elementary school kids social and emotional learning,” said Lai.

In the program, SFSU students partnered with Woosong University students to deliver lessons to children at the university’s preschool.

“If you can study abroad and if you can afford to, because being able to afford, it is really a big part of it, honestly, but I’d say if you are able to do it, give it a shot,” said Lai.
