SPREES Study Abroad
All SPREES students are encouraged to study abroad as part of their undergraduate experience. Many SPREES students become proficient in the Russian language through study in the Russian-speaking world, including places like Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, and Georgia. Recently, our students specializing in Eastern Europe have begun to study abroad in Warsaw, Poland, at the Collegium Civitas. Practically speaking, all of our majors and minors have studied abroad over the past decade. This experience is invaluable in consolidating and expanding what they learn at Stetson, and creating a cohort of students who have been “over there,” to share knowledge with our newer students.
Scholarships
SPREES has a variety of scholarships available for SPREES students to make studying abroad more affordable. SPREES scholarships are separate from WORLD scholarships, but they have the same application deadline each semester:
Fall Deadline: February 1
Spring/Summer Deadline: October 1
Student Experiences Abroad
A month in Poland changed my entire view of the world. I studied new languages, witnessed historic protests, and realized that no one in this part of the world has been spared from the war.”
