Global USF

Come find the world on our campus. Study with students and professors from all over the globe. See the world through different lenses. Study abroad for a week or for a year. Engage a planet in which everything is connected and on which everyone matters.

USF attracts people and ideas from all over the world. Come join our gatherings of cultures and perspectives. Come navigate, exchange, and appreciate differences. Come see the good that can happen when different people from different places meet, mix, and spark.

At USF, we acknowledge, respect, and celebrate differences. True to our Jesuit values, we pursue the common good through teaching and research. We are an international community. We seek understanding. We go there, in body and in spirit.

Study Abroad & Immersion Programs

Each year more than 300 USF undergraduates and 190 USF graduate students study abroad. We offer you more than 100 programs in 45 countries. Come find a program — academic, internship, field study, immersion — that calls you.

Join an immersion program and dive deep. Learn about a different culture. Work in service or in research. In the tradition of Jesuit education, you and your classmates observe, reflect, analyze, and act.

How To Live Abroad

For many people, the idea of living abroad is a wishful thought, a “someday” dream. For a few, though, the idea is an impetus to action. These USF graduates — a diplomat, an architect, a tech pioneer, a naval attaché, and a Peace Corps officer — all moved thousands of miles to pursue careers in lands far from their birthplaces.
