Located in the city of San Francisco

The main campus is located just east of Lake Merced, a quiet and picturesque area of the city with acres of parkland for relaxation. The downtown campus is in the heart of downtown San Francisco, just minutes from the Embarcadero, Salesforce Tower and financial district.

After completing three years of undergraduate study at Shih-Chien University in international trade, I enrolled in the International Business certificate program at SF State. While taking the inspiring Global Entrepreneurship course, I realized that I lacked some professional skills and knowledge needed to become an entrepreneur and a leader… I am excited to transfer to the Business Administration Certificate program, a path for the international student to gain the foundation needed to pursue a fast track MBA degree.
