Study Abroad

Need to escape the Florida heat? Want a taste of other cultures? Check out the University of Florida Study Abroad programs! UF has trips to many countries, chek them all out!

The program is made up of 2 courses taught concurrently during the summer program as part of a holistic approach to the study of culture, critical thinking, documentation and expression of the dynamics of space and place. Together, the 2 courses will act as a way for students to gain critical insight and investigative powers that will help them translate their personal experiences into both written and visual interpretations of the Japanese culture and their experiences within that culture. Japan and the US have a unique history of cross-culturalization. Our culture is transformed within the Japanese context, and their culture is transformed in ours. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the Japanese culture, and in doing so, be able to investigate the meaning of their own culture.
