Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs
Faculty-led study abroad programs offer the best of both worlds: on-campus classes at UNF plus an immersive experience abroad with your classmates and professor. Consider a faculty-led program to explore a particular business discipline from a different perspective while earning three credits. These are great opportunities for students going abroad for the first time and/or students with obligations at home that make spending a summer or semester abroad more challenging.
Contact us for more information or visit us in Honors Hall (Bldg. 10), Suite 2125.
Applications are closed for Spring 2023. Consider a summer exchange program instead!

Cost and Payment Information
Each faculty-led study abroad has costs associated with the products and services that are part of the program, including student lodging, airfare, business/cultural visits, entry fees, international health insurance, t-shirts, etc. In order to ensure the best rates (and thus the lowest cost for students!) faculty leaders must sometimes pay airfare or hotel deposits up to nine months in advance of travel. However, we try to spread the student payments over a few months so that the entire program fee is not due at the time of application. This allows students to begin saving and researching other sources of funding prior to making these payments:
$500 first payment due the last day of the fall semester (December 9)
- This charge is posted immediately after acceptance into the program. It is non-refundable within three business days of student acceptance, even if it takes longer to be posted.
Remaining balance
- The remaining balance will be posted to students' accounts according to the schedule and due dates set by the faculty leader and the UNF International Center. The remaining balance is non-refundable after December 9, even if it takes longer to be posted.
Additional information about payments and withdrawal policies and deadlines is listed in the faculty-led study abroad policies form.
Tuition and fees for the course associated with the study abroad program are paid separately to UNF according to UNF's regular tuition payment deadlines.
