Histoire administrative
As seen in the St. Cloud State 1970 Report of the Committee on International Education, a push arose in the early 1970s to define St. Cloud State’s role and future in international education. From this purpose, the Denmark and England programs started in September 1973 and offered students the opportunity to study abroad. Other study abroad programs include Japan, Poland, Russia, and Spain. By 1987, the Denmark and England programs were the largest of the international programs offered. Both of these programs were open to general students, unlike the smaller French and German programs. Besides study abroad, which also included the exchange of faculty, International Studies provided academic and community support for foreign students and fostered growth in global relations by assisting with partnerships between SCSU and other international institutions.
