Finding the right program for you will depend on your personal, academic, and professional goals and preferences for studying abroad. A few things to consider are location of the program, term and length of the program, courses offered, and cost.
Location
Consider the countries you are interested in, the climate, cost of living and traveling to that country. Some programs offer scholarships and academic opportunities only for particular regions.
Term and Duration of the Program
You can study abroad after your first semester at UF during fall, spring, spring break, summer, or academic year. Programs vary by term and duration. Foreign universities term dates may vary from UF’s term dates. Consider which programs offer the most flexibility to take courses abroad for your degree.
Education
You can earn credits towards your major, your minor, or general electives while studying abroad. Courses taken abroad must be pre-approved approved by your Academic Advisor.
