International Experiences Abroad

At FIU, providing our students with a Worlds Ahead experience while preparing them for the global market is one of our top priorities. As such, numerous FIU Panthers partake in other educational experiences abroad that may be facilitated by other offices/departments on campus. While those offerings may not stem form the Office of Education Abroad, we are here to help with the process of preparing for those experiences. Thank you for making FIU a true global institution!

FIU really cares about your health and safety abroad. For this reason, there are some processes that anyone who joins any of the international options below will have to follow. Failure to follow these steps may impact your safety or health abroad should any incident happen while you are traveling. We hope to see you in our office!
