The ISE offers you true immersion, since you’ll be living and studying in your host country for the Fall or Spring semester, or both! You pay your FIU tuition for ISE, which means any scholarships or financial aid that you receive can go towards your study abroad experience. To learn more, visit International Student Exchange. Options include:
Taylor’s University (Malaysia)
Other Study Abroad Opportunities
Students can choose to participate in a non-FIU or outside study abroad program. These third-party programs are not offered by FIU.
