The rewards of being and FYA Fellow student continue upon return to the main campus. Upon completion of a minimum of 36 FSU credit hours at their European or Panama IP study center with an FSU GPA of 3.0 or better, FYA Fellows are assessed in-state tuition rates for the remainder of their first undergraduate degree at FSU in Tallahassee. For a typical four-year degree, the savings could total $40,000 to $50,000 dependant upon the student's study location. (See admissions criteria here.)

Locations, Faculty, Classes

Each location's resources--historical sites, art, libraries, museums, government, and professionals--are fully integrated into courses. Faculty members have a passion not only for their subjects but for the cities, for the cultures and for undergraduate teaching. International Programs faculty are by nature intellecually curious, globally conscious, energetic inspired and inspiring. Small classes and personal attention create an intimate, liberal arts college atmosphere: no huge lecture classes, much more one-on-one instruction...a chance to grow and mature. Our students, even in upper-level classes, always find that confidence, independence, and self-knowledge are chief rewards of our programs.

Program Fees

Each program fee is comprehensive, including: Up to 48 credit hours, housing, health insurance, center social/cultural excursions and activities, full-time administrative and academic support, some means (Valencia and Florence), and visas (Florence, Republic of Panama, and Valencia). Fees for 2009-2010 in London, Florence, or Valencia are $39,500. The fee for Panama is $24,500. Financial aid may be applied toward program fees.
