International Education

The University’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) outlines the enhancement of international education efforts at UT and is titled “Building International Competence: An Integrated Approach to International Education.” The University is committed to providing a learning environment that promotes international competency and prepares students to become global citizens. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, a person with a multicultural education has a leading edge in the workplace.

Students in all programs may enhance their majors or degrees by earning a Certificate of International Studies (CIS). University of Tampa students can also choose from a number of international/global courses throughout their degree programs or pursue a major in international business, international and cultural studies or a foreign language. With nearly 655 international students on campus representing more than 100 countries, there are ample social and academic opportunities to interact with people from many different cultures.

Strong University ties with the multicultural Tampa Bay community provide another valuable resource for students. International internship opportunities are available for students in many majors. The community, as well as the University, benefits from many international events initiated and hosted on campus.
