Prospective Students
This page is for students from other countries who are interested in San Francisco State University (SF State) to earn a bachelor's or post-graduate master's degree as a non-US citizen.
Most international students (non-US citizens) study at SF State with an F-1 student visa. We have created this webpage with this type of student and their needs in mind. Admission criteria, cost, the application process, and deadlines are slightly different from a U.S. citizen and we want to make sure that you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information as a future SF State student!
