What Sets Us Apart

FSU's four study centers offer residential and academic resources including classrooms, libraries, computer labs, and comfortable living accommodations. Each is exquisite and unique – reflecting the culture of the location – and led by directors who live in the country, know their students, and are supported by staff members whose top priority is to provide a nurturing and safe learning atmosphere.

It is a life changing experience that employers are going to like, and you will remember it for the rest of your life!”

Our Locations

Each area’s unique local resources – historical sites, art galleries, libraries, museums, artisans, government officials, and business professionals – are fully integrated into our courses.

Our Classes

Students find the rewards of our programs include greater confidence, independence, and self-awareness. Small classes and personal attention create an intimate liberal arts college atmosphere. More one-onone instruction provides the opportunity to grow and mature.

Our Faculty

Our faculty members are globally conscious, energetic, and inspiring intellectuals. They have a passion for teaching their subjects as well as for international cities.

Our Security

We strive to promote a safe, secure environment with on-call response available at all times. Additionally, study center directors maintain continuous contact with our Tallahassee office, local authorities, and United State officials – at home and abroad.

In essence, FYA is learning, exploring yourself, and making your best friends. By spending my first year abroad, I did just that, only I got to do it traveling the world.
