Description: In the multifaceted, exquisite setting of Panama, Florida State University offers its oldest international program. For nearly 50 years, the Panama Campus of the university has served thousands of students seeking associate and bachelor's degrees. FSU-Panama is a truly international campus offering a four-year American college degree. Whether students come for a semester, a year, or more, they discover a study-abroad experience that merges seamlessly with their full college career. In one of Central America's safest and most hospitable countries, a student body comprising some fifteen different nationalities gathers for U.S.-structured higher education. The full spectrum of undergraduate studies is possible, and because Panama City is the region's major international trade center, opportunities for global learning and research are exceptional.

Highlights: The Panamanian environment as a whole is perfect for work in tropical and marine biology, oceanography, and business studies. Panama is, in addition, a natural for business studies, with some 125 international banks and many corporations operating in the free trade zone. Every day, too, Panama's natural beauty, unspoiled beaches, historic sites, and economic dynamism are available to students and professors, who create specialized excursions to extend learning beyond the classroom. The museum of the Panama Canal sets the stage with contemporary history and is complemented by anthropological, art, and science museums. For its cosmopolitan citizenry, Panama City provides many art events, including theatre, dance, and music. With only short trips, students can find themselves watching sea turtles lay their eggs, trodding on the 'gold road' by which the Spanish brought ore from Peru, or visiting the Sand Blast Islands, where Indians maintain their ancient language and government.
