Credit Courses with an Internship
Students with an advanced level of English proficiency who are enrolled in the Semester
at SDSU program may expand their business knowledge with American students by enrolling
in SDSU College of Business courses.
The fifth largest undergraduate business school in the U.S., the College was recently named
by Success magazine as one of the "25 Best Business Schools for Entrepreneurs
in America." Students can select from courses in accounting, finance, information and
decision systems, management, and marketing. Other business-related courses are available.
Consult with the Semester at SDSU advisor regarding the options.
Program Highlights
- Students receive an official certificate and university credit.
- Participants attend classes with American students.
- Participants choose four SDSU business courses per semester or three business courses
plus an internship.
- Participants may complete an internship, which allows them to work on an individual
or group consulting assignment for one or more small to medium-sized business(es) in San
Diego.
Please note that the ALI cannot guarantee participation in
specific university courses. Students enroll in classes on a space-available basis.
|
Students successfully completing the Semester at SDSU program for two consecutive
semesters are eligible for Optional Practical Training
(OPT). OPT allows international students to work in paid or unpaid positions in
the U.S. for up to one year. The ALI immigration advisor will assist you through the
process.
OPT is only available to students who have taken full course loads of SDSU classes
for two semesters, not those who combined intensive English courses in their program.
SDSU courses should be related to the student's major.
Semester at SDSU students may also earn certificates in Business, and Hospitality
and Tourism Management.
