Scholarships, Awards, Career Discoveries, and New Perspectives of the World: We can

be Your passport to Life Changing Opportunities. Our students’ experiences open their eyes, open new doors, and often reach far beyond their expectations!

I didn’t expect it to changemy views so much on HOWto help.

"Studying in Peru both diversified my educational background and provided me withinvaluable insight into international service –my career focus. I learned a great deal aboutPeruvian culture and, through that opportunity,my perspectives regarding how to provide service-based assistance were significantly influenced.On the program, I was able to see first hand howeffective (and in some cases ineffective) variousorganizations were at attempting to provide assistance to people in genuine need of help. Ihad studied the concepts in the classroom, butthis was my chance to see how real people wereactually impacted by good and bad decisions.

Basically, I realized the key to providing the most dynamic assistance – especially foranother culture – is to understand the importanceof valuing and respecting cultural differences.This will lead to determining a community’s realneeds rather than relying on outside perceptionsof what its needs should be! I will never forgetthe people I met and friendships created duringmy time in Peru. Regardless of your major, I advise everyone to take advantage of theunique opportunities that can only be gainedthrough studying abroad."

“I knew going on the Peru Program would be a great way to help other people,

“I realized the only way to get to know China was to go there,I didn’t expect to want

to go right back theminute I got home!”

- Denise CorrellTianjin, China: 2009

”Going on FSU’s China program was the best waypossible of introducing myself ‘into the wild.’ Before goingto Tianjin, I’d already taken three semesters of Chinese,read dialogues on table manners, and done bartering skits.Learning about the culture that way is like learning to drivea stick-shift by watching a video on Youtube.. .you reallyneed to just ‘get out there and do it!’ Once there, I alwaysfelt safe and at home in a fascinating environment. Bit bybit I began feeling like this was something I could get usedto. As soon as I returned home, I started looking for a wayto go back, and set my sights on a Critical LanguageScholarship which would allow me to study in Xi’an, Chinafor a summer. Memories of Tianjin pushed me to continuemy Mandarin studies – and I got the scholarship! Althoughthe China program helped boost my language proficiency,the biggest way it helped me get that scholarship is a resolve it had instilled in me to continue to traverse geographic and cultural boundaries throughout my career,no matter the cost because there is such a great payoff!”

- Christopher RobertsIquitos, Peru: Summer 2010

Chris, shown above in Peru, received the President's Humanitarian of the Year Award and a Student Seminole of the Year Award at this year's FSU Leadership Awards Night.

“Community service is a big part of my life. I am an FSU Service Scholar with the Center forLeadership and Civic Education, and I hesitatedabout going abroad because I didn't know if I’dbe able to do community service there. So I waspleased to learn my advanced Italian class wouldpay visits to a local retirement home. (I have aspecial affection for the elderly since I grew upwithout grandparents in The States because myfamily is originally from Bolivia.) On our first visit,I met a resident named Antonetta who, with herkind words and love, made me cry. She becamemy Italian ‘nonna,’ grandmother, and I started goingto see her and the other residents on my daysoff. Interacting with the residents helped perfectmy Italian. We taught them to use computersand they taught us their favorite recipes forTiramisu. It was an amazing cultural exchange!When I returned to FSU, I became a leader foran outreach program that takes FSU studentsto a retirement facility near campus. I also keep intouch with my little Italian grandmother, hopingso much to get back to see her some day. Mymost cherished memory of studying abroad isvolunteering and meeting Antonetta. It mademe realize giving back to a community, and thegratitude its residents feel, is much more aboutthe people rather than their language or culture.”

Our students’ experiences open their eyes, open new doors, and often reach far beyond their expectations!

*(See page 6 for new passport information.)

“I went to Italy expecting to have a wonderful adventure,

who knew I’d fall in lovewhile I was

there as well?”

and now I’m seeing my dreamscome true in Hollywood!

“My dream was to be an actor. I didn’t expect to go tocollege, so studying abroad was certainly not on my agenda.However, my parents REALLY expected me to go to college.Florida State University seemed like my best option sinceit had a great theatre program. Going there, I expected topull the occasional all nighter, the killer 8 a.m. ‘Woman inLiterature’ course, and even the 45 page research paper.What I didn’t expect was to be studying iambic pentameterone fall semester just three short tube stops away fromShakespeare’s Globe Theatre – or to be eating a bananacrepe’ in Paris one weekend and riding the waves in Walesthe next! I didn’t expect to make such close bonds withsuch amazing people.

Every day in London was a new journey. I grew as aperson, as a friend, and as a performer. I came home withmore strength and more confidence. I’ve been living asan actor in Los Angeles for a year now. I have had guestspots on multiple TV series, can be seen in a few nationalcommercials, and have worked with incredible directors andactors. I recently was in my London roommate’s wedding;and although we hadn’t seen each other in over a year,the bonds we made across the Atlantic are ones that cannever be broken. I owe a lot of my success in the past yearto my study abroad experience. Even more than talent, it takes strength and confidence to make it out here inHollywood. If I had the chance to go back to college andsuffer through all four years again, I definitely would...if it meant I got to spend another semester studying abroad!”

“I hadn’t even expected to attend the theatre program in London,“I knew going on the Peru Program would be a great way to help other people,

“I realized the only way to get to know China was to go there,

My expired passport had to be renewed in order for me to studyin London. Going abroad changed my life academically as well aspersonally. When I was in London, I made an effort to get toknow people in the city – which is essential to studying abroad.Immersing yourself in the culture and all thenew and different things about another country isthe best way to really make the most of yourexperience. I searched for local groups with whom I had tiesback home through the Internet and attended their local events.rough those efforts, I met so many interesting people – many ofwhom I still keep in contact. I participated in a writing event andwas able to meet up with other London writers in pubs and bookshops where we wrote and talked. I went to several concerts while Iwas there. My favorite part was standing in line talking to fansbefore the shows. I met members of bands I loved, traveled toScotland on my own, and attended theatre productions simplybecause the opportunity was there and I grabbed it. Studyingabroad helped me become more outgoing,focused, and confident; and I wouldn't tradethe experience for anything!"- Rachel Rice

COMMUNITyEngagementOpportunities Abound while Studying Abroad!

Our students continue to enthusiastically find new ways to better understand – and better the lives of – people in thecountries they choose to visit. This past year, participantshelped to build new homes for local families, assisted in community schools, visited area nursing homes, and took part in several fund-raising opportunities. These types of activitiesenhance resumes and often assist in the completion of TheFlorida State certificate and scholars programs which requirelocal or international community engagement. Additionally, students find great satisfaction in getting involved, meeting new people, and experiencing their own personal growth!

there are numerous and extremely varied opportunities for community engagement whilestudying abroad with us.

“During my Study Abroad experience in Valencia,Spain, I had the opportunity to volunteer at alocal school, Colegio Pío XII, where I helped ina conversational English class for 16- and 17-year olds. While at first the students were veryshy, once we got into conversation they becamemore comfortable – asking me questions aboutmy family, hobbies, favorite movies and music,etc. By the last class, we were able to talk about a variety of different things, because I wasn’t reallya “foreigner” anymore. Watching this transition,both for them and for myself, made my studyabroad experience that much more rewarding!”

“When I tell people about my study abroad experienceI always say, ‘Deciding to study abroad wasperhaps the best decision I made in college.’It was not just an amazing experience personally,it gave me a great background educationallyas well! Being able to see first hand so many things Ihad studied in history and humanities classes alongwith the incredible artwork and architecture reallysparked my interest to further continue my studies −including the Italian I studied while in Italy and stilluse now every chance I get. I definitely think allof these elements combined to give me quitea competitive edge when applying to lawschool. In fact, I am now attending a lawschool that has a special international lawprogram.

International Programs accepts applications from students from all colleges and universities. Students from other schools are classified as transient students. Thismeans they are degree-seeking students elsewhere, but will attend The Florida StateUniversity for at least one term. The transient student form is provided when the application to study abroad has been acted upon favorably. Here are some tips andguidelines to assist in studying abroad with Florida State.

Students should meet with academic advisors and/or their Dean’s office to discusswhich program, and courses, will best suit their academic and personal needs. Often,course descriptions are needed to make this assessment. Florida State’s General Bulletin lists descriptions for all courses. Begin searching at http://registrar.fsu.edu/

bulletin/undergrad/depts/. Look under the academic department for each course. Although determination of transferability of credit is seldom denied, students are encouraged to get this approval in writing (transient student form), prior to their term abroad.

FiNANCiAL AiD

Students who receive financial aid should meet with their financial aid office and discuss plans to study abroad with Florida State. Additional loan monies may be available because the estimated cost of attendance to study abroad is generallyhigher than studying at the home campus. Most schools require a consortium agreement be signed by the host school (Florida State). Obtain this form from the homeschool and send it to The Florida State University International Programs, A5500

University Center, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2420. We will obtain the necessary signature and return it promptly to the student’s home school. Please read our financialaid procedures: international.fsu.edu/Students/Prospective/College/Financial_Aid.aspx.

Additional

SUmmEr PrOgrAmSIn addition to having summer programs at our four study center locations, FloridaState offers programs in over 20 other locations on six continents. The university’srich international history is exemplified by our discipline-specific and broad curriculumprograms, many of which have been operating for decades. For example, the Oxford program, established in 1972, allows law students to enhance their legalstudies by exploring the history of the common law in its original setting. Hospitalitymajors have been gaining insights into European perspectives of their industrythrough our Switzerland program since 1970. We have been immersing futureleaders in Russian language and culture since establishing the Russian programin 1992. Students wanting to meet liberal studies, multicultural, oral competency, writing, and/or summer residency requirements can participate in broad-basedprograms in locations as diverse as Israel, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. Programs inPeru and South Africa provide excellent first-hand learning experience in the areasof social service work and international disaster relief.

We continue to add new programs in response to student interest, faculty areas ofexpertise and the employment needs of industry and government. Our goal forevery program offered is to provide unparalleled international learning experiencesfor students from Florida State, within the United States, and from around the world.

"Istanbul is such a uniqueprogram. We got to live in a place where Eastern andWestern people come together with very differentcultures − and it was great!e best discovery for me, in a countryfilled with surprises, was the Turkishpeople themselves – and their attitudetowards American students. I always felt totally at easeand welcome thanks to theTurkish hospitality. Peoplecould not have been more helpful orkind. I really enjoyed their relaxed wayof living and was impressed by theirgenuine interest in learning about our western/American lifestyle. My time spent in Turkeywas very mind opening andquite easily one of the most exciting and fascinating experiences of my life."

Buenos Aires, the capital of the Argentine Republic (population 13 million,

including suburbs), is a major South American port located at the mouth of

the Rio de la Plata. Reminders of the country’s European roots abound:

Spanish is the official language; Italian and German names are very common;

and the architecture boasts Spanish Colonial design, Italian detailing, graceful

French Classicism, and even Victorian residential influences. The city is

well-known for its cultural diversity and dynamic atmosphere, making it one

of South America's most elegant and vibrant cities.

This Florida State University program is offered in conjunction with the long-

standing partnership between the University of Belgrano and International

Studies Abroad (ISA). The main program is a 16 week Broad Curriculum

semester. Students wishing to participate in an additional four week intensive

Spanish program may do so prior to the main 16 week regular semester.

Courses are offered in both Spanish and English, and are taught by University

of Belgrano faculty. Students will be registered for Florida State University

academic credit as opposed to foreign institution transfer credit; thus, all

traditional financial assistance is applicable to the program.

Note: Seasons in the southern hemisphere are “opposite” of the northern

hemisphere.

Coastal Dubrovnik, an ancient walled town on the Adriatic Sea, traces its

founding to eighth-century Romans. Today, with much of its medieval

architecture remaining, and with picturesque sidewalk cafes, Dubrovnik

still radiates the distinctive charm of old Europe—attracting vacationers

from all parts of the world.

The transition from communism has been particularly difficult in South Eastern

Europe because in addition to the necessary economic and political reforms,

it has often been accompanied by state collapse and ethnic conflict. In this

program, students will examine these issues through a variety of lenses.

Due to The Florida State University’s long-standing relationships in the

Balkan region − including collaboration with the 300-year old University

of Zagreb − participants will have the opportunity to discuss these issues

with students, policy makers, and faculty from the region while experiencing

life in several of the former Yugoslav states. Since Bosnia, Croatia and

Montenegro are at differing points in the journey toward EU and NATO

membership, and the length of their independence varies, participants will

gain insight into how the issues vary over time as well.

Classes are taught by faculty from Florida State and prominent regional

European universities and meet for approximately half the day. Program

excursions include tours of Dubrovnik and trips to Montenegro and Bosnia.

Social Work & International Affairs in Central Europe

Location: Central Europe, southeast of GermanyPopulation: 10.2 million Time Zone: EST + 6 hoursArea: 30,450 sq mi; slightly smaller than South Carolina Language: Czech Currency: Koruna

After the fall of communism in 1989, the borders of the Czech Republic were

reopened and Prague, the capital city, quickly surfaced as an internationally

recognized center of culture. Located in the heart of Europe, Prague is

renowned for its concentration of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque

influences, and provides a fascinating vantage point from which to study the

evolution of social welfare and criminal justice systems and the enduring

legacies of Nazism and Communism. The program offers students an

absorbing international and intercultural perspective on a wide array of

aesthetic, historical, political, and social issues.

Students in international affairs and political science courses will visit sites

that memorialize the Holocaust and other World War II atrocities and organi-

zations that have worked to expose crimes committed under Communism.

Social Work students will engage staff in settings such as drug treatment

clinics, domestic violence centers, HIV/AIDS prevention and care sites,

human rights organizations, courts, and prisons, allowing them to learn how

these services are provided in a Central European context. U.S. Social Work

students also may be joined in classes by students and faculty members

of Prague’s Charles University as well as local guest lecturers.

Our host community, which borders the Llanganates National Park, is a rural

rain forest setting with a rich ancestral culture and unique way of life based on

living in close association with the natural environment. Our program and its

partners emphasize cultural exchange and the sharing of ideas in learning

and work projects. During our stay, students will partner with experienced

mentors and learn firsthand about the issues and needs of grass-roots

communities in Amazonia and Latin America in general. Opportunities

include but are not limited to teaching English, cultural and/or environmental

research, agroforestry, ecotourism, construction, and fair trade. Anthropology

students will be mentored in field methods and complete research projects.

Excursions include: a hiking/camping trip in the primary forest, Napo river

white-water rafting, visits to fair-trade tea and chocolate factories, the

capital city Tena, local government offices, bilingual intercultural schools, a

canoe trip to a wildlife refuge on the Arajuno river, and day trips to various

indigenous communities and eco-reserves.

Tropical Field Biology

In this program, students will have an opportunity to directly experience

a range of unique and fascinating ecosystems along with the plants and

animals they contain. Ecuador is one of the most biologically diverse countries

on earth with habitats ranging from lowland rain forest to treeless alpine

regions in the Andes Mountains. The two and a half (2.5) week program

will emphasize direct exposure to a range of tropical habitats and organisms.

In addition, Tropical Field Biology will provide extensive experience in formulat-

ing and testing hypotheses relevant to tropical biology and conservation.

Our primary study location will be the Tiputini Biodiversity Station located in

the lowland tropical forest in eastern Ecuador, adjacent to Yasuni National

Park. Tiputini is located in the western part of the Amazon basin, an area

with an extremely diverse community of plants and animals. The extensive

forest around Tiputini has seen little disturbance or hunting and contains

many animals that are now rare elsewhere. With the aid of the station staff,

participants will explore the surrounding forest and river. The natural history,

ecology, evolution, and conservation biology of local organisms and habitats

will be introduced by the course instructor and local guides. Students will

design and carry out short research projects in animal and plant ecology

both in groups and individually.

In addition to the intensive experience at Tiputini, the program will also briefly

visit other locations in Ecuador for comparative purposes and exposure to

a range of tropical habitats and insight into the evolution of biological diver-

sity. The different sites will have experienced varying degrees of human

impact, providing an opportunity to investigate conservation issues.

Course activities may include guided forest and mountain hikes, forest

canopy visits via tower and walkway, boat excursions, night hikes and bird-

watching. Possible social and cultural activities include: river float, swimming,

horseback riding and tours of colonial Quito.

Communication Science & Disorders


Around the world, those who work with people who have speech and

language problems go by different professional names and are required to

complete different professional training. Many treatment innovations for

people who stutter, have autism, etc., have originated in London and the

United Kingdom. Students who complete this program will learn about and

observe clinical practices in the wondrous city of London. The Program in

Communication Science and Disorders will provide students first-hand

knowledge of how this profession is practiced in the United Kingdom. The

two courses in the proposed program will include interactions with clinicians

from world-renowned speech and language clinics in London.

Each course will focus on a part of the person’s life span: one on speech

and language problems among children and the other on these same

problems among adults. There will also be a focus on the professional

training and treatment of these speech and language problems in the

United States and the United Kingdom. Material discussed in class will be

demonstrated during visits to speech and hearing clinics in London. Both

courses offered count toward requirements of the Communication Science

Documentary film and video has experienced an explosion of new and

exciting work in recent years. London is the birthplace of the documentary

tradition, where John Grierson launched what he called, “the creative

treatment of actuality.” The British Documentary Experience will connect

the vibrant world of contemporary documentary film with the historical roots

of the tradition, combining critical film viewing field trips to art cinemas in

London, master classes with filmmakers, and hands-on training in the

fundamentals of digital video production.

Open to students at all levels, from beginning to advanced, the two courses

will complement one another, providing students with grounding in the

documentary tradition, exposure to a variety of contemporary approaches by

current filmmakers and the basic skills for using cameras, microphones and

editing systems. Therefore students are required to take both classes. London

is an incredible location to shoot video. Students will create short documentaries

during the course of the program as a way to apply the concepts that are

developed through the reading, writing and viewing portions of the program.

Students majoring in English can study British literature at its source during

the fall semester. This program offers upper-division English courses that

allow them to progress toward their degrees on schedule, while gaining

the immense benefits of the London experience. As students read works

by writers such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Keats, Dickens, and Woolf, they

can visit the settings of the stories and poems, the homes of the authors,

museum exhibits, and productions of plays. Many of the courses are

repeatable up to 24 credit hours, allowing students to repeat a course in

London’s vastly different and enriching learning environment.

The Study Centre is located two minutes from the British Museum in the

intellectually-rich neighborhood of Bloomsbury, the center of the Bloomsbury

Group of writers, philosophers, and artists. Particular attention is placed

on the Americans who lived in London, the effect of their experience, and

the impact of London on American literature. Students visit other districts

of London that are rich in literary associations such as Hampstead, Chelsea,

and Greenwich. Outlying neighborhoods of London are used to trace the

major London authors to their homes and work places. Drama is also

explored as students attend performances of the plays they are studying

on the London stage.

European & British History


Whether a student’s interest is in the royal ceremonies of Westminster

Abbey, the revolutionary fervor of the Place de la Bastille or the Cold War

culture of Checkpoint Charlie, the European and British History Program

has something for everyone. Designed to provide a unique opportunity to

engage in primary research, attend small classes and conduct multiple

academic site visits, this program immerses students in the history and

culture of modern Europe.

Using the city as a textbook, students will spend much of their time out

and about on academic excursions to both sites of history and sites of

commemoration. Walking tours of London might take students to the likes

of Whitehall - where in a single road one can visit the Houses of Parliament,

making a classroom discussion of political reform more real; and sit in

Trafalgar Square, allowing for a unique understanding of how England’s

defeat of France helped form a national identity. Beyond London, students

will participate in day-long excursions to such sites of history as Bath,

Cambridge, Brighton, and Stonehenge. Further afield still, students will visit

both Paris and Berlin exploring the monuments and archives of these two

cities that between them have done so much to shape modern European

history.

preparation. With courses covering topics such as international sport

marketing and business, governance, socio-cultural issues, and facility

and event management, students achieve an invaluable global perspective.

Classroom discussions are augmented by presentations from sport industry

professionals in Great Britain, as well as by exclusive field trips. The program

is based in London where students visit offices of governing bodies, sports

organizations, and attend in-season sporting events. Field trips to Wimbledon

and the Open Championships are highlights of this popular program. There

are also opportunities to tour notable sport facilities such as Emirates

Stadium, Wembley Stadium, and Lord’s (the Home of Cricket).

The year 2012 will be very special for the program. With London hosting The

Olympic Games, the courses will include an additional focus on various

aspects of the Games including financing, infrastructure development,

event management, and sponsorship. As a special experience, participants

will have an opportunity to attend some of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

cultures with Ethnic Theatres in London as well as

offering a course in acting Shakespeare and an

introduction to Directing.


“London is pretty much the first place that comes to mind when one thinks of theatre. There is simply so much of it here. Not that it is all good, though some of it is very good indeed, just that it seems to like the air or the soil; it grows here like nowhere else. i enjoy working with our students from America because they are so willing to explore and try new things. The enthusiasm I get from them rubs off on me – they help me to get on with my own work. i can’t very well tell them to keep writing and acting when the going gets tough - if i am not trying to do a bit more of it myself !”

- Mark WheatleyOur Director for Theatre Academy London and instructor

of Playwriting and Screenwriting sessions, Mark is also

Literary Manager for Complicite theatre company and has

adapted many shows for them, including The Street

of Crocodiles, which led to an Olivier Award nomination.

Now in its 40th year, this is the oldest on-going program in Oxford that

is sponsored by a U.S. law school. It provides a unique opportunity for

students and practitioners to study comparative law and the history of the

common law in its original setting. Participants reside at St. Edmund Hall, an

Oxford University college, which traces its roots to the 13th century, when

Edmund of Abingdon, monk and the subsequent Archbishop of Canterbury, is

believed to have lived and taught at the location. It became St. Edmund

Hall in 1317. Of the oldest original Oxford communities, St. Edmund Hall

alone survives. The program includes a trip to the Inns of Court and the

Royal Courts of Justice in London and an evening of Shakespeare at

Stratford-upon-Avon. With all of England, Scotland, and Wales located a

short and fairly inexpensive distance from Oxford, participants enjoy many

other travel adventures.

Paris is possibly the most exciting place for a student of dance to study both

technique and dance history. The city is filled with history of collaborations

between dance artists and visual artists as well as the influence of American

dance artists who lived and thrived in Paris. Dance in Paris is designed to

immerse the dance enthusiast in a unique program of study combining

technique classes at various dance académies and conservatoires in Paris

with a course in special topics related to dance history and cultural sites.

The Académie Américaine de Danse de Paris (AADP), under the direction

of Brooke Desnoës, will partner with the Florida State University School of

Dance to provide a home-base for the Florida State Dance in Paris Study

Abroad program. Located in the heart of Paris, students will have the

opportunity to take technique classes at AADP and interact with the school's

students and distinguished faculty. Over the course of four weeks, students

will also explore “open dance classes” throughout Paris.

The Dance in Paris experience will be enhanced with topics in dance history

including 16th and 17th ballet history, the Impressionists with emphasis on

artists inspired by dancers, the Diaghilev period (1909-1929) and American

artists - Josephine Baker, Loie Fuller and Isadora Duncan – who lived in Paris

for extended periods and greatly influenced 20th Century dance history.

To complement each of these areas of study, possible site visits will be

conducted at the Paris Opéra Ballet School in Nanterre, the Conservatoire

National Supérieur de Musique and Danse, a dress rehearsal at the

Moulin Rouge and a performance of the Paris Opéra Ballet at the Palais

Garnier. Museum sites include Versailles, Musee de l’Orangerie, Musée

D’Orsay and the Centre Pompidou. Both guided and self-guided tours will

further explore the role of dance history in Paris.

This exceptional opportunity for intensive study of the language and

culture of France is offered in association with the Institut Catholique, one

of Paris’ most prestigious language schools. Students are taught entirely

in French by native French-speaking faculty who are specialists in teaching

the language to foreign students. Students are placed in the language

course most appropriate to their level of understanding, from beginning to

advanced. Upper level courses in French civilization are also offered, and

are taught in French. Classes are five mornings a week, with an additional

class meeting one afternoon a week, leaving time for city explorations.

Students gain a better understanding of the city through guided tours of

famous districts in Paris, which in the past have included the Latin Quarter,

the Marais, and Montmartre. Also, in previous years, tours of the Louvre,

Centre Pompidou, and L'Institut du Monde Arabe have highlighted the

cultural significance of this world capital. A day trip exposing students to

French life outside the city is usually included. This is often a visit to the

village of Chartres for a guided tour of the famous cathedral. July is an

exciting month to be in Paris as Bastille Day is July 14th and the Tour de

France ends on the city’s Champs d'Elysées this same month.

The Israel Study Abroad Program is designed to provide students with the

opportunity to explore the wonders and historical sites of Israel in a safe and

secure environment. In the Criminology courses, students will learn about

Arab-Israeli relations, courts, police, and prisons through both their classes

and excursions. Program participants are also given the opportunity to

study the Hebrew language. Studying in Israel provides American students

with the opportunity to experience unique minority group relations in a

culture outside the United States. The opportunity to visit this important

area of the world is vital for truly understanding the historical, political, and

cultural importance of Israel in international relations.

A typical week in the program will consist of classes at the beginning of

each week and various academic and historical tiyul (field trips) at the end

of the week. All trips will be facilitated by an Israeli guide and monitored

for security purposes. Classes will be conducted by an Israeli professor,

an FSU professor, FSU graduate students, and occasionally guest lecturers.

By living on the kibbutz, students will get a complete cultural experience

through their interaction with the residents, allowing them to live and work

alongside the Israelis. Ultimately, the program offers an amazing opportunity

to learn and understand the Israeli way of life and provide an unforgettable

experience abroad for students of all disciplines.

This program is designed for students who would like to experience life

in the Amazon while working in service learning fieldwork. While taking

a course about cultures of the Amazon basin, students will do volunteer

work in Iquitos and in nearby riverine peasant and indigenous communities

on the Amazon, Nanay and Itaya rivers.

In addition to classes and activities conducted by Florida State faculty,

students will participate in the daily life of the Iquiteños by living in home-

stays and learning simultaneously from specialized Peruvian professionals.

These professionals will present an overview of important topics related

to culture and development in the region: indigenous cultures, health and

medical issues, ethnobotany, forestry and sustainable practices and the

cultural arts. Students will travel frequently by boat in the Amazon and

Nanay rivers to visit local communities.

tornados, earthquakes, floods, toxic exposures, and other environmental

crisis scenarios. Specific emphasis is placed on the need for social workers

who are deployed abroad for international disaster relief work to have the

skills to identify and advocate for diverse and vulnerable populations in

disaster preparation, planning, recovery, and mitigation.

The first three weeks of this ‘hybrid’ program are taught in Durban, South

Africa. Visits to non-governmental organizations such as the International

Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and other agencies

are planned. While in Durban, students will use the city to examine social

work roles and responsibilities in relation to transnational work with immigrants

in disaster relief and recovery. Durban – South Africa’s second largest city

and the continent’s largest port – is blessed with the beautiful beaches of

the Golden Mile, balmy weather year-round, and the country’s most multi-

an overnight safari trip on which students will see a variety of big game,

like giraffes, elephants and rhinos, and a weekend trip to Capetown.

With its prime geographical position at the juncture of East and West,

Istanbul has played a unique role in world events. The fourth-century

Roman Emperor, Constantine, recognized its potential as a major trading

city when he relocated his capital there. Over the centuries, Turkey has

proven to be of strategic military, economic, and cultural importance as a

melting pot of influences from many diverse sources. Today, as a strong

regional power with many ties to Europe, the Middle East and Central

Asia, Turkey is the ideal place to study the development of globalization

throughout the Eurasian subcontinent.

Participants live and study at the private English-speaking Turkish institution,

Koç University, located north of the urban center of Istanbul. Students will

study such contemporary issues as the politics of development in the Middle

East and Central Asia; the politics of security in the Eurasian region; and

the development of the European Union and its relationship with Turkey;

and the contemporary politics of Turkey.

Students will tour the exciting city of Istanbul, visiting the majestic Hagia

Sophia; the beautiful Blue Mosque; Topkapi Palace, home of the sultans;

and the world’s oldest shopping mall, the Grand Bazaar. Sites students

may visit include overnight trips to Ankara, the capital of modern Turkey;

Cappadocia, with its otherworldly landscape and early Byzantine churches

carved into caves; and Mardin, a beautiful, ancient town overlooking the

Mesopotamian plain.

upon arrival at the airport in Istanbul. Details will be supplied after acceptance.

At our highly respected year-round study centers, we have forged strong professional affiliations within the host countries. The result is coveted job placements in four major world cities: London, England; Florence, Italy; Panama City, Republic ofPanama; and Valencia, Spain. This year weare offering programs in Sydney, Australiaand Iquitos, Peru as well. * Additional locations may be available upon inquiry.• See individual program dates, fees, and additional placement

information on pages 80 - 87.

IS AN INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIP FOR YOU?

International Programs’ goal is to provide each intern with the

tools needed to successfully compete in a global workplace.

Included in this training are workshops held in Tallahassee prior

to the intern’s departure, which cover such subjects as resume

building, interviewing skills, international business etiquette

and customs, and business ethics. Once in their international

placements, as with any real-world job, students must meet the

standards of the host organizations; they must both perform well

and work well with people. Please keep in mind students may

be required to work during scheduled social/cultural events,

including semester breaks. With a position abroad, interns obtain

another achievement: exposure to foreign office dynamics and

experience with different cultural situations.

In today’s global society, an international internship amplifies an

academic record. It sets the participants apart for both graduate

school and employment applications. Our returning interns

experience growth, excitement, and enjoyment; which are the

result of the students’ own hard work and professionalism.

Students who choose to intern abroad are choosing to make

an invaluable investment in their futures.

INTERNINg wITH THE FLORIdA STATE UNIvERSITY

International Programs Internships are generally unpaid full-time

or part-time work assignments in professional settings for which

students receive academic credit. Interns are guided by Florida

State’s academic departments and International Programs.

Interns function as employees, with their full responsibilities

being to their host firms, colleagues, superiors, and academic

advisors.

In addition, interns complete a personal journal, a summary

report, and other academic requirements. These experiences

can be invaluable in shaping and defining an education and a

career. Internships help students to:

l focus on a prospective career

l enhance academic study with practical experience

l open new areas of special interest

l develop new skills for future advancement

l obtain professional experience.

cONdITIONS ANd ELIgIbILITY

Competition for international internships is keen, as the sponsoring

organizations are seeking highly capable individuals. Only the most

qualified candidates are selected. While we make every effort to find the

best placement to match academic and career goals, we cannot guarantee

a specific placement. Placements are dependent upon student credentials,

availability of suitable positions, and possible interviews. When requesting

placements, students should understand there is a high level of responsibility

and commitment required for the successful completion of international

internships. Students who derive the most from professional internships

are mature, self-motivated, intellectually curious, reliable, friendly, detail-

oriented, and flexible.

APPLIcATION REQUIREmENTS

l Applicants must be full-time, degree-seeking students with at least a

3.0 GPA (3.5 for British Parliament, DLA Piper Rudnick Carey and the

U.S. Embassy).

l Interns in Valencia and Panama must have a strong background in both

Spanish comprehension and conversation. Any placement that requires

proficiency in a certain language will necessitate an interview with a

native-speaker, arranged through International Programs.

"My study abroad experiencewas like no other in my life,and one I will never forget!Not only did I study and live in the heartof Florence, I had the amazing opportunityto intern at the Duomo (also known as theCathedral Santa Maria del Fiore) as well.My semester in Florence was spenteating wonderful food, being surrounded by incomparable art,history, and culture and – strollingthe Ponte Vecchio every day on myway to give tours at the fourthlargest cathedral in the world. I lovedworking at my internship, spending thedays immersed in art and history, alwayslearning new things, and leaving each timeelated and excited about what I was doing.If I had the choice, I’d havestayed much longer: continuingto learn, making strong career connections, and meeting newfriends I will treasure for therest of my life - just like this experience!”

This program is designed to provide students with real work experience while

enjoying one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Florida State University

first opened its doors in Florence in 1966, the year of the Great Flood. Many students

helped to save important works of art damaged by the flood and, to thank the students,

the Florida State Florence Program was given a key to the city. This initial union

between Florida State and Florence created a special relationship that has grown

stronger over the years. As a result, Florida State Florence is able to provide out-

standing internship and learning opportunities in one of the world's most important

cultural and historical treasures.

Placements are made on a case-by-case basis and potentially can be found in a

large variety of fields. Past interns have been placed in positions with prestigious art

museums and galleries. Additionally, Florida State has contacts with art restoration

specialists and world class hotels and restaurants. All of these opportunities immerse

students in the unique culture of Florence. This experience and exposure will raise

awareness of, and potentially provide entrée to, a variety of career opportunities. Our

interns gain unparalleled practical work experience, make invaluable connections,

and acquire exceptional employment references.

Note: Italian fluency is not required for internship placement. All internship placements

are part-time and students are required to enroll in at least 3 credit hours of Italian.

This program is designed to provide graduate students with real international work

experience while immersing them in the unique culture of Iquitos, Peru. Florida State

sent its first group of students to Iquitos in the summer of 2009 on a program focused

around service learning, regional cultural studies, and teaching English as a second

language. This new internship program was developed to address additional student

interests and to build on relationships that were established during that summer 2009

program. We have designed this unique internship program specifically for Master’s

students in the ESOL, TESOL, Foreign Language Education, and Sociocultural and

International Development Education Studies (SIDES) programs.

All interns will be assigned a placement prior to departure for Iquitos. The on-site

Internship Supervisor will collect timesheets and evaluations, and will provide weekly

written feedback to the students. While on the program, students will stay with a host

family in Iquitos. All host families have been screened by our Housing Coordinator in

Iquitos and by our Florida State Faculty Program Leader. This experience and unique

exposure will raise awareness of, and potentially provide entrée to, a variety of career

opportunities. Our interns gain unparalleled practical work experience, make invaluable

connections, and acquire exceptional employment references.

Note: Spanish fluency is not required for internship placement. Students will receive

6 credit hours at the graduate level (TSL5940 Teaching English Internship).

INdEPENdENT STUdY OPPORTUNITIES

In accordance with The Florida State University policy for international

experiences, International Programs provides opportunities for Florida

State degree-seeking students who elect to study abroad in locations

where Florida State does not have an International Program. Independent

Study programs are designed for students who wish to register for Florida

State University courses and receive grades for study/research to be

completed abroad. This is true whether the credit is pursued independently

or through direct enrollment in a foreign institution (but not as part of a

University-approved Reciprocal Exchange Agreement).

In an effort to assist students who wish to independently study abroad,

International Programs provides administrative and academic support

to help ensure there are no challenges with regard to receipt of credit

and/or receipt of financial aid. Further, International Programs provides

health and evacuation insurance, and collects contact details of the

student, their emergency contact, and the foreign host institution.

The International Programs website has detailed information and

instructions on the application process.

Please visit international.fsu.edu for additional information.

Students who elect to participate in an approved University Reciprocal

Exchange Agreement should visit the Center for Global Engagement or

their website:

http://global.fsu.edu/currentInternationalexchanges.htm.

INdEPENdENT INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

International Programs provides a program and support similar to the

Independent Study program for students who elect to register for Florida

State internship credit for work to be completed abroad at a location other

than where we currently have established internship programs. Whenever

possible, we are happy to assist students by providing an International

Student Identification Card, health insurance, and administrative support.

Independent Interns must apply through International Programs, as outlined

on the International Programs Independent Internships website. Please

visit international.fsu.edu for additional information.

Note: A 60-day notice prior to the start of the internship is required.

Through this College for High School (CHS) European Humanities

Program, one of the few traveling study abroad programs for high school

students, participants spend three incomparable weeks abroad visiting

more than fifty sites in London, Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice and more!

Custom-designed for qualified high school students, this innovative

educational program occurs during Florida State’s thirteen-week summer

term as an on-line course that includes the traveling tour through Europe.

Students experience first-hand, famous art and architecture, historic

locations and diverse cultures of our world (including their amazing food) –

as well as taking part in many exciting culture-related social activities

and free time adventures. Each day, along with advisors, program leaders,

and other high-achieving students, participants explore the awe-inspir-

ing European locations they have already been introduced to through

the online pre-trip learning segment of this outstanding program.

Not only do participants get to study abroad through a program run by

one of the nation’s top research institutions, they also have their work

guided and graded by Florida State faculty. While abroad, students

interact on a daily basis with university level-instructors and program

leaders with whom they have already developed a strong rapport.

Additionally, each participant is assigned a program advisor. Advisors

are educators, primarily high school teachers, who are committed to the

importance of this program and have chosen to share the journey with

our students. As well as opening students’ eyes and minds to new

experiences and learning situations, our programs additionally add

college-level study and college credits to their high school resumes.

This unique College for High School Intensive Spanish Program is custom-

designed for high school students wanting to dramatically increase their

Spanish skills through total immersion in the language and the culture.

Students spend their first three weeks in Costa Rica at the Conversa

Linguistic Center, a highly acclaimed language school, studying Spanish

language as well as Hispanic cinema, which is taught in English. Studying

and living at the Conversa presents the opportunity for continuous inter-

action with students at all levels of Spanish proficiency. On the weekends

while at the Conversa and during the final week of the program, students

participate in cultural activities such as visits to the local communities,

trips to beaches and tropical rain forests, horseback riding, rafting,

ziplining, and hiking in the national parks.

While abroad, students interact on a daily basis with university-level

instructors and program leaders with whom they have already developed

a strong rapport. Additionally, each participant is assigned a program

advisor. Advisors are educators, primarily high school teachers, who

are committed to the importance of this program and have chosen to

share the journey with our students. As well as opening students’ eyes and

minds to new experiences and learning situations, our programs also add

college level study and college credits to their high school resumes.

This program provides a total of seven semester hours of college credit. All

levels of Spanish from beginning to advanced are offered through the Conversa

Linguistic Center. A proficiency test is given prior to departure to determine each

student’s level of placement.

Mainly, my direction for the future haschanged so much because of goingfrom studying in my hometown tostudying in a foreign country. I am alreadylooking forward to another trip abroad!”

- Taylor BarrineauCollege for High School, Summer 2010

FIRST YEAR ABROAdProgramThe First Year Abroad (FYA) program allows students to complete the

first twelve months of their Florida State careers while studying abroad

with International Programs. Students can choose to spend their first

year at any of our study centers: London, England; Florence, Italy;

Panama City, Republic of Panama; Valencia, Spain. Participants can opt

to change their location for the summer term and spend it at another

study center, though visa restrictions apply for some locations.

Note: Students interested in science or engineering majors must choose

the Florida State Panama or Valencia program to meet their prerequisites.

PROgRAm bENEFITS ANd REwARdS

l FYA is designed for seamless continuation towards graduation.

l Students take up to 49 credit hours over 12 months, beginning in

the fall term.

l Classes are taught in English, except for foreign language

classes. Additionally, living among native speakers

immeasurably aids Spanish or Italian skills.

l Classes satisfy requirements of the Liberal Studies Program,

many minors, and first-year prerequisites for most majors.

l An academic advisor ensures students follow “mapping” for their majors.

l First Year Abroad fulfills the summer residency required of

most Florida State students.

l The rewards of being an FYA student continue upon return to the

main campus. Upon completion of a minimum of 36 Florida State

credit hours at their European or Panama IP study center with a

Florida State GPA of 3.0 or better, FYA students who are in good

judicial standing are assessed in-state tuition rates for the remainder

of their first undergraduate degree at Florida State in Tallahassee.

For a typical four-year degree, the savings could total $35,000 to

$40,000 dependent upon the student’s study location.

LOcATIONS, FAcULTY, cLASSES

l Each location’s resources – historical sites, art, libraries, museums,

government, and local professionals – are fully integrated into courses.

l Faculty members have a passion not only for their subjects but also

for the cities, for the cultures, and for undergraduate teaching.

International Programs faculty are by nature intellectually curious,

globally conscious, energetic, inspired and inspiring.

l Small classes and personal attention create an intimate, liberal arts

college atmosphere: no huge lecture classes, much more one-on-one

instruction. . . a chance to grow and mature. Confidence, independence,

and self-knowledge are chief rewards of this program.

AdmISSION REQUIREmENTS

FYA Program students must meet the following criteria:

l U.S. citizen

l Fully admissible to Florida State and can apply on line at https://

admissions.fsu.edu/undergradapp/

l Upon admittance to Florida State, must also apply to the FYA

Program at http://international.fsu. edu/Types/FYa/FYa.aspx

SPRINg BREAkProgramsFor students who have always wanted to Study Abroad at some point in

their college career, but felt that they didn’t have the time or the money,

our Spring Break Programs are often the perfect option. They are also a

great alternative for students who might be prohibited from studying abroad

because of mapping constraints. Taking advantage of the Spring Break

time slot to go abroad can be the perfect solution if personal commitments,

job responsibilities, and/or coursework requirements present the need to

find an alternative to our traditional semester-long programs.

INcORPORATE ON cAmPUS STUdY wITH gOINg AbROAd

International Programs is proud to offer unique study abroad opportunities

that incorporate study on campus during the spring term with an interna-

tional experience during the ten day Spring Break. Trips may include

such exciting opportunities as Museum Studies in London, Physics at

CERN in Switzerland, and encounters in Art History in London. We are

adding trips all the time, so interested students should be sure to check

our website, international.fsu.edu, often for the very latest offerings.

REgISTRATION ANd cOURSEwORK

Students register for a special “IP section” (International Programs section)

of the relevant course that is offered on the Tallahassee Florida State

University Campus. The courses are taught throughout the spring

semester, just as any other courses students might take. In addition to

the regularly scheduled on campus meetings, students participate in a

study abroad experience that enhances the coursework. Our Spring

Break Programs can now provide you with a Study Abroad option that is

focused on one discipline and shorter in duration – therefore being more

affordable than a full semester abroad.

PAYmENTS FOR SPRINg bREAK PROgRAmS

Students pay one program fee to International Programs that includes

undergraduate credit hours, housing, program related social cultural

excursions, and much more. (Some programs may also include study

abroad opportunities for graduate students.) Students do not pay on-campus

tuition for the course(s) associated with the program because instructional

costs are already included in the program fee.

FINANcIAL ASSISTANcE OPPORTUNITIES

As with all of our programs, students can choose from a variety of payment

plans including fee deferment against expected financial aid, Florida

Bright Futures, Florida Pre-Paid, and other available financial aid and

scholarship opportunities. International Programs also offers students

an opportunity to apply for scholarships reserved just for Spring Break

Programs. See pages 8-9 for additional financing information.

For students who have been waiting for the right opportunity to study

abroad, this may be just the right choice. Visit international.fsu.edu

for additional information on our Spring Break Programs.

Each year we carefully review our program offerings to ensure weare providing the best learning experiences at the lowest possibleprices. is year we have added several new programs tailored tomeet specific areas of study and allowing for even greater culturalimmersion and community engagement experiences. Additionally,our partnerships with the University’s Global Pathways and theGarnet and Gold Scholars present an exciting way to combinestudying abroad with meeting the certification requirements fortwo programs which are particularly impressive on both resumesand graduate program applications. And for those who have beenunable to study abroad because the length of time was too long orthe cost too high, we have now created Spring Break Programs −allowing students to go abroad just during the Spring Break timeslot. ese shorter, less expensive trips proved to be a perfect fitfor many of our students when first introduced this past spring!

We proudly believe each of our programs offer faculty, excursions,accommodations, and support staff which provide an incomparablevalue. As we continue to address the challenge of making studyingwith us more obtainable, I challenge you to broaden your horizonsby joining the over 1,500 students who choose to take part in one ofour programs each year.
