CIE Study Abroad Services

Study Abroad Resources & Support

Classroom Visits
Each semester, the Director of the CIE, along with returning study abroad students, visits classrooms on campus to discuss study abroad opportunities. Students receive an overview of programs and additional details about specific programs. Teachers can request a visit from the CIE staff.

Study Abroad Fair
Each Fall, the CIE holds its annual study abroad fair in or just outside the Lane Center. Students interested in learning more about study abroad, work abroad, and volunteer programs should attend.

Pre-departure Orientation Sessions and Guidebook
All FSU students accepted into a study abroad program are provided at least one pre-departure orientation session. Topics include packing, customs, carrying money overseas, health and safety, culture shock, international laws and customs, and re-adjustment to US culture. Students also receive a guidebook with pre-departure information. Pre-departure Orientations are mandatory!

Peer Counseling
Returning students are invited to become Peer Counselors at the CIE. Peer Counselors advise students considering study abroad and are available to speak to groups or classes.

Travel Insurance
All students will enroll into travel insurance through the approved FSU insurance plan or a company that is provided through the student’s study abroad program of choice.
