Dr. Robert, Chair in the Department of Medical Engineering
“International students bring fresh perspectives, new insights and global views for carrying out our research, and as participants in our courses. This really advances our research and student success at USF. I am fortunate to carry out both a vibrant neuroengineering research program, as well as work with students in the classroom and in my labs. I find this very interesting and rewarding to combine both research with interacting with students from all over the world.”

“It is a great joy to see international students become comfortable and thrive in my class. By the time they finish the 2-year master’s program, they have visibly transformed musically and personally – it is simply amazing to see them ‘become who they are’ in two years.”

Christy, Senior Instructor at INTO USF Academic Programs
"One of the best opportunities that you have when studying abroad at USF is the additional academic and social activities available to you. Like many universities, you could join a student organization or participate in panels, conferences, research, or symposiums.
Here at USF, our INTO students have been active members of the campus ecosystem, and my INTO students have told me that they appreciate learning about different opportunities and taking part in them. Be bold and take advantage of every opportunity.”
