In most departments, students can conduct research under the direction of a faculty member. Many departments have a course number for this type of credit. Information about special funding for undergraduate research is available in 2014 Turlington. Teacher Preparation Students wishing to become certified as secondary school teachers must start by completing requirements for a liberal arts and sciences degree in the appropriate subject area. Study Abroad Students in the college are encouraged to participate in study abroad programs administered by the UF International Center.
Scholarships are available.
Students can meet requirements such as general education, CLAS distribution, foreign language, certain courses in the major, summer term enrollment and UF residency. UF has programs overseas for undergraduates for a semester, a summer or an academic year that provide a wide range of academic and cultural experiences. For example, students can learn about East Asian civilization in Japan, study ancient sites in Rome, live in a kibbutz in Israel or explore Mayan ruins in Mexico. At the same time, they earn academic credit. Studying abroad, however, is more than academic.
