STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITIES

Become a global citizen! USF offers exciting opportunities to travel internationally to over 25 countries and participate in numerous academic- and service-oriented experiences.

STELLAR STUDENT RESOURCES

The success of our students is central to our mission as a university. We provide top-notch student resources to ensure students graduate on-time and are well prepared for whatever comes next – be it graduate school or starting a career. 

WHAT’S YOUR HOME CAMPUS?

Your home campus is determined by where your major is available, not by your place of residence. If a major is offered on multiple USF campuses, you choose your home campus. But don’t worry – no matter which campus is designated, you can still access non-academic services, such as the recreation center, counseling, and financial aid, on any campus.

ACADEMIC OPTIONS FOR NON-DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENTS

No matter what your academic needs, we offer the right program for you. Discover our academic options for non-degree-seeking students. Programs serve dual enrollment students, senior auditors, transient and visiting students, individuals interested in certificates and more.
