The College of Professional and Global Education (CPGE) facilitates a wide breadth of partnership opportunities across the global community. Our college is responsible for coordinating international scholars and educational leaders visits as well as developing and processing a variety of agreements between 利记 and partner universities and agencies.

Currently, 利记 has over 100 agreements with partners from more than 30 countries. See the full list of our international academic partners. For information on becoming a student recruitment agent, visit our global partnership website.

利记 international agreements are governed by the California State University (CSU) Chancellor’s Executive Order 1080 (pdf). Minimum requirements have been established for 利记 departments entering into agreements as a part of their international activity for state and self-support endeavors.

利记 offers qualified partners with different categories of agreement:

Exchange Agreements: These agreements involve the bilateral exchange of students and/or faculty and must be approved by the CSU Chancellor’s Office, 利记 Contracts and Purchasing Services, and 利记 Academic Affairs prior to signature by the involved parties.

Recruiting Agreements: These are agreements between 利记 and recruiting agencies and involve the terms and commission assigned to the recruitment and matriculation of students to 利记. These must be approved by CSU Chancellor’s Office and 利记 Contracts and Purchasing Services before signature by the parties. Learn more

After that time, they will be presented for signature by CPGE to the international partner and finally to our 利记 campus president.
