The University of South Florida Education Abroad Office (EAO), in partnership with USF academic units and colleges, facilitates and develops study abroad programs for USF students. Study abroad program proposals should originate with USF faculty and should carry the endorsement of appropriate departmental and college administrators.

Faculty-led study abroad programs are programs in which the academic instruction on site is provided by USF faculty or specially-contracted host institution faculty teaching existing USF courses. Typically, they are short-term (up to eight weeks) and offered during the summer or winter/spring breaks.

EAO strongly encourages early, informal consultation by faculty and units for program planning and coordinated programming among departments.  Please read over the Guide to Developing a Faculty-Led Study Abroad Proposal and then set up a meeting with a staff member of the Education Abroad Office to discuss the proposal process and your preliminary ideas.
