USF offers students the world as their classroom through its programs abroad. Whether a student chooses a short-term summer program, a semester or year at a university overseas, an internship, service learning or international co-op, there is a program for each student need. Studying abroad provides a unique learning environment, which extends and enhances courses taken on the home campus. Students can study abroad at any time in their academic careers. All disciplines offered at USF can be found in partner universities abroad, and so students have a wide range of study options.
USF overseas programs are designed to appeal to a wide audience. Students in any discipline can find a program of study to complement their undergraduate degrees. Courses provide USF credit and thus students can be assured that if they plan carefully, they will continue to make steady progress towards graduation while they are abroad. Students seeking to round out their resumes with experiences abroad, which include internships, service learning, and co-op, will find options for them also. Several programs of overseas study lead to dual degrees, certificates, or double majors.
Many programs include organized cultural excursions, visits to important sites, and opportunities to interact with local people. All include unparalleled opportunities for cultural immersion and in-depth insight into the host country.
USF study abroad programs range in length from one week (over winter or spring break) to a semester. A large number of faculty-led summer programs of 2-6 weeks provide the opportunity to concentrate study abroad in a summer session and help students fulfill the 9-hour summer graduation requirement. All programs are developed as cost-effectively as possible, recognizing the financial concerns of today’s students. Federal and state financial aid can be applied to USF programs abroad, and some additional scholarship assistance is available through the Study Abroad Office.
