The Office of International Programs encourages UTampa students to take advantage of semester-long education abroad programs through our partner institutions. These programs make it easy to study abroad while using your existing UTampa scholarships and grants, creating a seamless and affordable global experience. Looking for a destination or academic focus not currently offered through our partners? No problem! We also offer a wide range of affiliate programs to give you even more flexibility and access to high-quality international opportunities around the world.
Where to Begin
Explore program options by visiting the UTampa Study Abroad Portal and utilizing the filters to search for programs offered by our affiliates. For questions on affiliate programs, please visit the Education Abroad page for details on the services offered by the Office of International Programs.

Students applying to an affiliate program pay all their tuition and fees directly to the affiliate program. Additionally, to support the administration, assist in the transfer of credits, provide 24-7 crisis health care service, and support the logistics of the study abroad program, there will be an additional International Academic Program Fee assessed to the application for affiliate programs assessed through the study abroad portal. This fee is:
- $500 for January and Summer terms
- $1,000 for Fall and Spring terms
UTampa institutional aid - cannot be applied towards the cost of an affiliate program.
Non-UTampa Financial Aid - Federal and state (Florida residents only) financial aid programs may be available to assist with the costs of affiliate programs for study abroad. A consortium agreement established by UTampa is required. Please see your Financial Aid Counselor for more information.
*Important Note: If you are studying abroad through an affiliate that does not have an overriding UTampa Partner agreement in place, you will be wholly accountable to the affiliate’s financial policies.
