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.”

*(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.

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."

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

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.

The Napo Program is a tremendous opportunity for students to gain
coursework and work experience through partnerships with NGO's, local
institutions, and Kichwa communities in Amazonian Ecuador. On this
program, students will fulfill requirements for their various majors that require
Spanish and Anthropology coursework while making a difference as partners
in community projects.
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.

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.

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.

For students at all levels pursuing a degree in sport management or a
related field, study abroad adds a significant dimension to one’s career
preparation. With courses covering topics such as international sport
marketing and business, governance, socio-cultural issues, and facility

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

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.

institutions, London is a vibrant city for higher education. This course is
taught in a stimulating seminar format which engages students in active
discussions of current issues in European higher education, as well as
connecting the English tradition of higher education to American higher
education institutions. Using the city as a textbook, students will spend
much of their time on academic excursions to institutions of higher
education in and around London, including Oxford.
In addition to classroom meetings, students will explore London through
planned outings to locations such as the British Museum, Parliament,
Buckingham Palace, Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, Windsor Castle,
Stonehenge, and Bath. This course provides a unique opportunity for
students and practitioners to study higher education from an international

This study program is a rigorous, substantive, on-site exploration of interna-
tional merchandising and product development. For students pursuing a
degree in Retail Merchandising and Product Development, study abroad in
London adds an important component to career preparation. Students will
receive a significant international perspective from the program. Courses

and social responsibility; international merchandising, planning, pricing,
promotion, and distribution of products and services; and merchandising
principles, types of retail organizations, company and store management,
buying, and advertising.
The program will be based in London with a stay in Paris. Time in Paris
will include visits to famous retail organizations, museums, and cultural
sites with possible presentations from leading industry executives. Paris
is the birthplace of fashion and a must-see for students in this major.
At the London Study Centre students will receive an in-depth study of
merchandising and fashion forecasting. Classroom lectures by Florida
State faculty are augmented by presentations from professionals in London.
Students travel to museums in London, visit major British department
stores, and enjoy cultural field trips to places such as Oxford University.
One course counts as an elective for the RMPD major, while one is a required
course for RMPD majors. All students are required to register for two of the
three courses offered in this program. This allows them to progress toward
their degree while gaining the immense benefits of the London experience.

“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.
Mark has also written for television and radio; and his

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.
Excursions are likely to include a two-day visit to the local village of Padre
Cocha where students will see a butterfly garden and a Kukama language
maintenance school, as well as a three day group excursion to San Rafael, a
village sustained by ecotourism, situated two and a half hours down the
Amazon River with a primary forest that has never been cut. The highlight
of this program is a five-day visit to the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve,
the largest protected area of Peru and the second largest protected area
in the entire Amazon basin. Its 5,137,000 acres of protected unchanged
forest make the lives of myriads of species possible. In Pacaya-Samiria,
students will learn about forest and riverine people who have an inter-
dependent relationship with plants, animals and their environment through
sustainable practices of fishing, hunting and cultivating plot gardens.

through collections of world-renowned art, technological wonders at the
KGB Museum, and the multicolored cupolas of St. Basil’s Cathedral.
Students attend classes at Moscow State University, one of the world’s
most respected universities.
Small classes provide individual attention, and students have the great
advantage of learning from Russian professors who specialize in teaching
their native language as a second language. Intensive language classes in
the morning (beginning to advanced levels) are followed by afternoon studies
in art, music, culture, history, and folklore. At least one Moscow or nearby
field trip is scheduled weekly in connection with course work. Excursions
may include a bus tour of Moscow; the Kremlin and Kremlin Armory; the
DUMA (the Russian parliament); St. Basil’s Cathedral and Lenin’s Tomb on
Red Square; Stalin's Bunker; the Historical Museum; and the Tretaykov Art
Gallery. Site visits may include a two day trip to ancient cities Vladimir and
Suzdal and visits to Vladimir monastery; Bogolubovo monastery; the Suzdal
Kremlin and Yefimiev monastery; the Museum of Wooden Architecture; a
day-long bus trip to Tula (200 kilometers from Moscow) and Yasnaya
Polyana (Tolstoy's estate). Students may also visit St. Petersburg, taking
excursions to Peterhof; the Hermitage; Catherine the Great's Palace to
visit the famous Amber room; Peter and Paul Fortress; Aleksandr Nevsky
Monastery and its Cemetery where Tchaikovsky and Dostoevsky are buried;
the Dostoevsky Museum; Dostoevsky's heroes' sites tour; and boat rides on Neva.

This program prepares students to work effectively with diverse and
vulnerable populations in international disasters such as hurricanes,
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-
cultural population. In addition to academic field trips, the program includes
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.
An additional three weeks of this program are taught online when
students return to the United States.

students experience both local and more distant travel opportunities tied to
critical means of academic study. Most courses allow a three-day weekend
for explorations of the nearby ancient Roman city of Sagunto or castle towns
such as Xátiva. Each term includes a very complete cultural program with
at least one visit activity per week. Friday trips include visits to nearby
ancient cities or castle towns, sailing, and mountain excursions. Students and
faculty also spend three to four days in Madrid and/or Barcelona, Andalucia,
Pyrenees Mountains or another region of Spain enjoying comfortable
accommodations and visiting a wealth of important sites. During the fall and
spring terms, students have a 10-day term break for extended personal travel.

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.
Please Note: All students will be required to obtain a Turkish student visa
upon arrival at the airport in Istanbul. Details will be supplied after acceptance.

Nestled between Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay offers a charming
combination of tradition and innovation. The home of our program is
Colonia del Sacramento, which was founded by the Portuguese in 1680
and has been declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. On the eastern
coast of Uruguay, Colonia lies on the shore of the Río de la Plata and offers
convenient access to other parts of the southern cone: the natural habitat
of the interior with its varied wildlife; the popular resort area Punta del Este;
historic Montevideo, home of Mercosur; and cosmopolitan Buenos Aires in
next-door Argentina.
Housed in the facilities of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia in Uruguay,
the program will interest students of Spanish language, literature, and
culture as well as students interested in such areas as business, history,
and international affairs. The program will take place during the late fall
and early winter in the southern hemisphere. In addition to completing
their Florida State academic credit course work, our students may interact
with visiting students from Valencia, Spain, presenting an opportunity of
being exposed to two different dialects of Spanish.
Studies will be enhanced by exploring Colonia del Sacramento and by
field trips to other locations such as the Esteros de Farrapos National
Park, an overnight trip to Buenos Aires, and an extended visit to
Montevideo and Punta del Este.

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.

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.

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.
The following list is a sampling of recent placements. More are available.

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).
Please Note: Specific placements are not and cannot be guaranteed.

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

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

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-

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.

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.

APPLY ON-LINE
Apply to study abroad with us by submitting an on-line application
at international.fsu.edu. Please review all of the information
below prior to beginning the online application process.
The online application takes approximately 15 minutes.
The following information must be readily available:
l SSN/FSUSN: The university is moving away from using Social
Security Numbers (SSN) as a primary student identifier. All
Florida State students have an FSU Student Number (FSUSN),
which is used to access student secure applications. Non-Florida
State students will be assigned an FSUSN during their application
and admission process.
l Academic Information: This includes the applicant’s
current GPA.
l course request: Completing this section will not automatically
register students for these classes, but it will give us an indication
of which classes applicants are interested in taking. Course
listings for each location can be found on our website and on
pages 96 - 105 of this publication. Admitted applicants will receive
information about course registration prior to the start of their
term abroad. Registration windows may vary from those on
the home campus.
l visa details (Non-U.S. citizens): Non-U.S. citizens must
have their current visa details available when applying.
Please Note: Students who apply on or before the early
application deadline date for their program receive a $100
discount for that program.
INTERNSHIP APPLIcANTS: Submit the following items: the
application, the completed Internship Request Form (available
from international.fsu.edu), a resume or curriculum vitae
(students applying for an internship in Spain or Panama should
also submit a resume or curriculum vitae in Spanish), and three
letters of recommendation (two academic and one employer).
If you are applying for an internship in Panama or Spain, contact
the International Programs Internship Coordinator for information
about language requirements.
NON-FSU STUdENTS: Students who are NOT from The Florida
State University must submit official transcripts from the college
most recently attended in addition to the application.
Send all application materials to:

“I went into the Paris program with absolutelyno expectations, just a thirst to
expand my horizons and to grow as an
individual. I am pleased tosay: Paris transformed myoutlook on life! Living in this
city with a different language could
sometimes be challenging, but in rising
to that challenge, each daybrought new excitementand memories that will lasta lifetime. Choosing to study
abroad with International Programs is
one of the best decisionsI’ve ever made!”
