Success Stories
“Every day that I participated in the USP study abroad, I became more enamored and passionate about the field of speech-language pathology”
Kaira Clapper
UCF graduate student
“In Belgium, we don’t have such intensive programs like this, so that is something that I’d love to take back to Belgium with me.”
Maud De Craemer
Student visiting from VIVES University in Belgium
Study Abroad with UCF
Study abroad can broaden one’s view of themselves and the world around them. Students often return with a refined sense of what they want to achieve in life and increased maturity, confidence and motivation.
