“Higher education must evolve to meet the realities of today’s learners, and SFBU’s Global Campus reflects that commitment. By harnessing emerging technologies like AI and reimagining how high-quality education can be delivered across borders, we’re creating meaningful, accessible pathways for students to earn a U.S. degree while remaining connected to their home communities.”
Brad Fuster, DMA, Provost and Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs
“At SFBU, we believe that a student’s location should never limit their access to a high-quality U.S. education. Through our Global Campus initiative, we are expanding opportunity in a meaningful way, building trusted, culturally responsive learning experiences that allow students to stay rooted in their home communities while fully engaging with the innovation and academic excellence that define SFBU.”
Jen Alessi, M.S., Assistant Provost for International Programs
“Engaging with global partners and supporting students around the world has reaffirmed my passion for international education. San Francisco Bay University is committed to building meaningful collaborations that expand access and opportunity, and I am grateful to be part of that work. Each day, I am inspired by the chance to remove barriers for international students pursuing a U.S. degree, to develop partnerships grounded in mutual respect and understanding, and to help students dream big. Higher education transforms our lives, allowing us to learn, grow, and build bridges across cultures.”
Thawi Iwagoshi, Ph.D., Associate Provost
“The Global Campus Program reflects SFBU’s belief that world-class education should be accessible to learners everywhere.

As a team dedicated to advancing SFBU’s mission and values, we are proud to support an initiative that empowers learners to pursue their academic and professional goals while remaining deeply connected to their communities. Through the Global Campus Program, SFBU reaffirms its commitment to inclusive, forward-thinking education that equips learners with the skills, confidence, and global perspective needed to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.”

“One of the most meaningful ways to grow—emotionally, intellectually, and personally—is to step outside of your comfort zone and experience the world beyond your own bubble.”
Lesley Jimenez, B.S., Assistant Registrar for Distance Learning
"No matter where the student lives, their dreams and goals deserve a pathway forward. Through the Global Campus Program, SFBU is proud to extend equitable access to international students and connect them with the resources and academic excellence that empower their success."
Johnathan Mun, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of Business
“The Global Campus Program reflects SFBU’s commitment to making recognized, world-class American higher education accessible to talented students worldwide, enabling them to earn a U.S. degree from their home countries while building the cross-cultural understanding that defines tomorrow’s leaders. By extending SFBU’s academic excellence and accredited American curriculum to students in Indonesia and beyond, we’re creating pathways for individuals to achieve their educational goals without compromising the quality and international recognition that comes with a U.S. credential. This initiative allows students to contribute their unique perspectives to our vibrant, international learning community while gaining the advantages of an American education that opens doors globally.”
Shak Hossain, Ph.D., Professor and Interim Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering
"Access to U.S. higher education from abroad is essential for students in countries where travel to the United States is challenging. It provides the opportunity to pursue world-class education from anywhere, at any time, while fostering meaningful academic and cultural understanding."
Anzar Khaliq, Ph.D., Chief Learning Officer
“In a world where our lives are increasingly interconnected, the ability to understand perspectives beyond our own borders becomes an essential skill. U.S. higher education encourages students to question assumptions and link knowledge to emerging technologies and social realities. The Global Campus Program brings this learning environment to students across the world, helping them prepare for a future that will demand both curiosity and clarity.”
Maria Zapiain, M.S., Instructional Designer
"At SFBU, we believe that getting a great education should be simple and direct. We are committed to providing access to academic excellence in a way that makes international engagement easy and effective."
Kafele J. Khalfani, Ed.D. Dean of Students
"As the world continues to be globally connected, the ability for our students to interact, engage and learn internationally will be a skill set that adds value not only to their education but their professional networks. One of my most treasured memories was the summer I spent studying in London. Being engrossed in an international city where I met people from around the world transformed my views and helped me to become the person I am today. I am excited to create opportunities in Silicon Valley for our Global Campus Students to come experience a class, an internship and the metropolitan cities of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose."
