The San Jose State University Research Foundation (SJSURF) – International Gateways Programs, under the College of Professional and Global Education (CPGE), is part of San Jose State University (SJSU), a public institution. SJSU is a member of the California State University (CSU) system, which is publicly funded. While SJSURF operates as a nonprofit auxiliary organization supporting SJSU, its programs, including International Gateways, align with the university’s public mission. These programs serve both domestic and international students but remain under the umbrella of SJSU’s public governance and accreditation.
