Study abroad will give you the skills to lead a significant life: being a global citizen, expanding your understanding of social responsibility, engaging hands-on with our world, and challenging you with high-impact academic and co-curricular experiences outside of your comfort zone. We dare you to study the world and bring it back within you for the rest of your life!
WORLD offers three types of Study Abroad programs:
Exchange Programs
Trade places with a student from another country, and challenge yourself to move outside of your comfort zone and experience another culture! A reciprocal exchange enables you to attend a host university for a semester or year at about the same cost as at SU. You participate fully in the life of the university abroad. This option provides more significant immersion than shorter-term programs and may also benefit second-language acquisition, imparting skills that will enable you to better navigate our increasingly global world. Exchange students enroll in host university courses as regular students and are responsible for all course work and examinations. You live in university-arranged accommodations and can take advantage of all the programs at the host university. There is an exchange option available for any major.
Faculty-Led Programs
SU Faculty-Led study abroad programs are a wonderful opportunity for you to gain significant international experience while enrolled in SU courses and benefiting from Stetson faculty global expertise. Our faculty programs usually range from one to four weeks, with most occurring in the summer or winter, making it even easier for you to study abroad. Faculty programs are especially beneficial to first-time travelers as they tend to be the most structured of our options and offer a wide variety of SU classes, allowing you to select from many offerings, fulfill graduation requirements, and become a global citizen.
These programs usually offer credit for one or two courses, unless they are part of an existing semester course, in which case there is not additional credit offered for the study abroad component.
Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs offer you literally hundreds of study abroad opportunities in all parts of the world, as well as short-term to semester or yearlong options. Students who participate in affiliated programs take courses from the university or institute associated with that program. Our affiliates allow you to go into the world in more independent ways, yet all provide a program structure of academic rigor and safety.
