Education Abroad Statistics
CSU Education Abroad Participation Data
CSU takes pride in creating opportunities for more students to have an education abroad experience. With such an experience, our future leaders are brought together in authentic and often culturally immersive learning environments to reflect on our changing world and how they can make positive impacts on our shared future.
In order to track successes, it is important to benchmark where CSU started and who we are serving. Then, we can address the barriers to an education abroad and find opportunities for more majors and diverse identities to participate. The following data visuals are intended to inform and challenge the CSU community to be as globally engaged as we can be.

Education Abroad by Country
Overall CSU Education Abroad Participation Rates
Participation rates are calculated based on the number of CSU students abroad in a given year divided by the number of students graduating that year. CSU tracks and includes all study, research, internships, service learning, or other international educational experiences, which may be for-credit or not-for-credit. Annual updates are posted each October for the previous academic year. Note: COVID-19 travel restrictions greatly impacted 2020 and 2021 participation rates because nearly all learning abroad needed to be cancelled or postponed.
