糖心vlog鈥檚 rich history of supporting internationalization was recognized nationally this week in a new report by representatives from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Institute of International Education.

The university鈥檚 study-abroad programs rank No. 9 in the nation in  annual report released Nov. 16, which included a category documenting the number of students studying abroad.

The rankings showed Florida State helped provide international study opportunities to 2,723 students in the 2018-2019 school year, up from 2,544 students in 2017-2018. FSU ranked No. 8 among public universities in this category.

鈥淚n a year in which many international activities have been curtailed due to the pandemic, it is affirming to be ranked in the Top 10 for the 2018-2019 academic year,鈥� said Louisa Blenman, associate director for International Programs. 鈥淲hile 2020 has proven to be anything but a typical year, we remain committed to offering a variety of programs that meet the needs of our diverse student population.鈥�

FSU also placed No. 4 overall and No. 1 among public universities in 鈥渓ong-term duration鈥� of study abroad experiences, with 144 students who completed a full academic year of international study in 2018-2019.

鈥淪tudy abroad is considered a 鈥榟igh impact practice鈥� through which students engage with their subject matter and the host culture,鈥� Blenman said. 鈥淭he result is often transformative.鈥�

While FSU鈥檚 fall study abroad programs were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the university plans to host small cohorts of students in the spring at its European study centers in London, England; Florence, Italy; and Valencia, Spain.
