APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Here's How You
Can Study Abroad through FSU:
1. Getting Started: Pay a
visit to your International Education Center (IEC) and discuss
your interest in study abroad. Also, talk to your faculty or
departmental advisor about study abroad.
2. Define Your Goals: Identify Your Options. Why do you
want to study abroad? Where? Do you want to study in another
language or in English? Would you like to study abroad for a year
or semester? Do you want a program that requires a lot of
independence and initiative, or do you prefer one that handles
more of the arrangements for you and lends more on-site support?
How much money can you afford to spend?
3. Apply! Submit the application on or before the
deadline. You will need to meet any eligibility requirements,
selection criteria, and deadlines set by your International
Education Center. The application may be completed, downloaded and
printed directly from this website. Turn in your application to
your International Education Center by the designated deadline.
