Independent Internships Information

In accordance with the Florida State University policy for international experiences, International Programs provides opportunities for Florida State degree-seeking students who elect to study abroad in locations where Florida State does not have an International Program. Independent Study programs are designed for students who wish to register for Florida State University courses and receive grades for study/research to be completed abroad. This is true whether the credit is pursued independently or through direct enrollment in a foreign institution (but not as part of a University approved Reciprocal Exchange Agreement).

In an effort to assist students who wish to independently study abroad, International Programs provides administrative and academic support to help ensure there are no challenges with regard to receipt of credit and/or receipt of financial aid. Further, International Programs provides health and evacuation insurance, and collects contact details of the student, their emergency contact, and the foreign host institution.

International Programs provides a program and support similar to the Independent Study program for students who elect to register for Florida State internship credit for work to be completed abroad at a location other than where we currently have established internship programs. Whenever possible, we are happy to assist students by providing an International Student Identification Card, health insurance, and administrative support.
