“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Welcome to UCF Study Abroad 2009!!The main goal of UCF study abroad programs is to provide UCF students with opportunities to enhance their education. In response to student interests and suggestions, the UCF Office of International Studies (OIS) is implementing new activities and features intended to better prepare prospective study abroad participants in getting the most out of their study abroad experience. Cultural OrientationsThe Cultural Orientations are a series of one-hour sessions designed to inform students who are considering participating in a study abroad program or who are preparing to go abroad. The topics of the sessions include issues related to diversity, student expectations, awareness of stereotyping and ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments. The sessions will be held throughout the semester and are open to all students.New programsYou can search the prospective short-term and exchange program by clicking the appropriate item to the left of your screen.Student HandbookThe Study Abroad Student Handbook is intended as a reference for prospective study abroad participants. The handbook is not program specific. It provides basic discussions about important subjects for students interested in attending a study abroad program. The Handbook is supported by the Cultural Orientations, mailings from OIS and program specific information.Greater Access to InformationTo enhance your ability to get information about your study abroad options and processes, we have established a schedule of office hours on campus. These office hours are expected to address your concerns better, as well as provide additional and convenient opportunities to interact with OIS and become more informed.Of course, you are still welcome to contact us at studyabroad@mail.ucf.edu or drop by OIS at Research Pavilion Suite 395.
