UCF Students Making a Global Impact Through Service-Learning
Teamwork. Interdisciplinary collaboration. Cultural competence. These are just some of the valuable skills our nursing students gain through service-learning across continents while, at the same time, providing much-needed care to rural and underserved communities.
Students may receive course credit through official study abroad opportunities organized by UCF Abroad. Additionally, Honors in the Major students may study abroad with the Burnett Honors College.
