Cal Poly International Center Programs

Cal Poly provides information on Landscape Architecture and related programs (including programs providing General Education credit).  For information and opportunities use the Search or Advanced Search engine on the Cal Poly Study Abroad website. 

Non-Affiliated Programs

Additional programs may be available through connections outside of Cal Poly.  These programs are not affiliated with Cal Poly and require additional planning, advising, and independent planning.  Students should verify financial obligations, including the ability to utilize financial aid, course equivalencies and program requirements. Careful academic planning should be developed with an Off-Campus study advisor.
