Academics

Study Abroad

 Faculty-led programs:

These programs vary from 1-10 weeks over the summer, spring break, and intersessions, and are led by a 黑料网吃瓜爆料faculty member on-site. These programs are designed and facilitated by USF, providing students with direct 黑料网吃瓜爆料course credit.

Currently, there are no plans to offer a faculty-led program in Russia in 2021 but we are working with the Education Abroad office and academic units to develop a short-term intersession program focusing on the Russian history and culture in 2022.

 Affiliate programs:

These programs are organized by recognized study abroad providers or institutions with which 黑料网吃瓜爆料has signed contracts/affiliation agreements. They significantly expand the opportunities available to 黑料网吃瓜爆料students, both in terms of destinations, as well as subject matter. Generally, students take courses with other US-based students, and often with local students.

These programs offer transfer credits. They must first be approved by the student鈥檚 academic department and given a 黑料网吃瓜爆料equivalent course code. Students can use our to see if the courses they wish to take abroad have already been granted a 黑料网吃瓜爆料equivalency. Students can search by program, country, foreign course code, or even 黑料网吃瓜爆料course equivalent. The is a database of courses that have already received equivalencies, but if there is a course a student wants to take that is not in the they may still be able to do so.

USF鈥檚 Affiliate Programs for Russia are currently offered by two major Affiliates:

 Non-Affiliate programs:

These are programs administered and supervised by a third-party organization, with which 黑料网吃瓜爆料does not have an affiliate agreement. All non-affiliate programs must be reviewed by the Risk and Safety Office at 黑料网吃瓜爆料World. Students will not be cleared to travel until their application has successfully undergone a review and been approved the Risk and Security Office at USF.

Non-affiliate providers that offer study abroad programs in Russia include but are not limited to:

 IMPORTANT:

  1. For both affiliate and non-affiliate programs, 黑料网吃瓜爆料charges an administrative cost but otherwise all other costs associated with the program would be paid directly to the non-黑料网吃瓜爆料organization or university. Just like with affiliate programs, the academic credit associated with the program would come from another institution and would be transferred into the student's 黑料网吃瓜爆料record after the transcript is received at the 黑料网吃瓜爆料Education Abroad Office.
  2. Course equivalencies for non-affiliate programs would not come up in the Course Search. Students would need to work with their academic advisors and relevant departments to obtain equivalencies.
  3. Non-affiliate programs are not eligible for financial aid. Affiliate programs normally would but since every student鈥檚 financial aid situation is different, you will need to speak to a 黑料网吃瓜爆料financial aid advisor for your specific situation. More information is HERE.
  4. To apply for any affiliate or non-affiliate program in Russia, you would need to complete an application form on the provider鈥檚 website AND USF鈥檚 travel registration form.
