For Focused First-Years Exploring Their Academic or Career Path

Immerse programs are tailor-made for first-year students within a specific college or major who want to connect their academic or career interests with global experience. These are faculty-led Spring Break programs that bear 1-3 credit hours, depending on the sponsoring college. Unlike Discover and Explore, Immerse programs are designed in partnership with UGA colleges and departments, offering a deeper dive into your discipline through cultural engagement, professional site visits, and hands-on learning. If you’re excited to see how your field plays out in different cultural contexts, Immerse is your launchpad.

Program fees vary by destination. HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships may be applied toward tuition, while additional scholarships and financial aid can often be used toward program costs.
