This summer I will be complementing my education here at the University of Kentucky by studying abroad in Florence, Italy! Though this seems like a daunting task, the Education Abroad staff at the University are extremely helpful and encouraging, as are all the professors within the College of Arts and Sciences! While in Italy I will be taking a Travel Writing course that I will receive credit for ENG 207, a class required for my major.  When planning your academic experience abroad, it is important to chose courses that will allow you to stay on track for your degree path. With help from the faculty and staff in Education Abroad and the College of Arts and Sciences, the application process is very easy! Check out http://www.uky.edu/educationabroad/ to begin researching programs, just like I did.  Many of the other Ambassadors have studied abroad and I can't wait to gain experiences like theirs! One current Ambassador, Katie, is studying abroad in France now! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I would love to assist you in the education abroad process! Ciao!
