Study Abroad at CALS
As Global Gators, the College of Agricultural
and Life Sciences (CALS) students can participate in any of the many
international academic opportunities offered by the University
of Florida, or participate in college
sponsored international experiences. From the snows of Moscow to
the rain forests of Costa Rica, CALS is increasingly offering
its students opportunities to participate in
programs designed to change their outlook forever.
Students may choose to study an
entire semester
abroad, or
may instead participate in short
term study tours which usually vary a week to ten
days in length.
Visit the CALS Global
Gators website
and the CALS Global Gators brochure for
details.
The
UF International Center
The UF
International Center’s Study Abroad Program offers 3 different resources
for studying abroad:
- UF
Exchange Programs:
In an Exchange Program, students are assigned UF course
equivalencies for the work they do abroad, and the
grades are factored into their UF grade point average
(GPA). Each partner institution reciprocates by sending
students to study at UF.
- UF
Sponsored Programs: These programs are mainly
subject-specific. "UF Sponsored" means that
a faculty member at UF has spearheaded the program and
has a vested interest in its quality and academic
integrity. In most cases, the faculty member actually teaches
the course abroad. Most UF Sponsored programs are offered
in the summer. Some of the programs give students UF
credit, some give transfer credit, and a few programs
give a combination of credit types. Visit the UF
Sponsored Programs page for detailed information on the programs
offered.
- Independent
Provider Programs: Learn more about study abroad
programs offered by other universities and UF-approved Independent
Programs. All Independent Programs give transfer credit.
Many students enroll with reputable study abroad providers
such as International
Studies Abroad (ISA) or the American
Institute for Foreign Studies (AIFS). Some students register
as transient students to study abroad programs offered
by other US universities. Students can even enroll directly
with a foreign institution as transient students. The Independent
Providers Programs site lists many different study abroad
programs offered outside of UF.
For more information, the International Center Study Abroad website
includes links to deadlines,

asked questions, and travel regarding
