For Students

Overview

Global learning equips students with skills that are highly valued in today’s workforce. It fosters cross-cultural communication, adaptability, and problem-solving — all essential in international business, technology, healthcare, and more. Employers increasingly seek candidates who understand global systems and can collaborate across borders. By engaging with global learning — whether on-campus, online, or through study abroad — students gain a competitive edge in careers that demand cultural awareness and strategic thinking.

Global Learning programs on-campus include classes facilitated by certified instructors that include a virtual global exchange component within their classrooms, our Global Citizens Program, the Global Career Accelerator, and our Peace Corps Prep Program, which works alongside of USF's on-campus Peace Corps Recruiter.

Global Learning programs abroad include traditional study‑abroad experiences that can range from 5‑day programs to full academic‑year opportunities, as well as internships, which vary in length depending on the specific placement.

Whether you are an international or a domestic student, from Iowa or from Florida, our Global Learning Office has just the program for you!
