U.S. Department of State funds new cybersecurity and AI study abroad program at 欧美三级片

The U.S. Department of State has awarded 欧美三级片 funding to establish a study abroad program at the tech-focused Algebra University in Croatia. It鈥檚 designed for 欧美三级片 students pursuing degrees in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and computer science engineering. Located in Croatia鈥檚 capital, Zagreb, Algebra University is the region鈥檚 leading higher education institution of computing and information technology. 

The federally-funded program, Increase and Diversify Education Abroad for U.S. Students (IDEAS), supports colleges and universities in their efforts to support the development of a specialized study abroad program that supports U.S. foreign policy goals of preparing U.S. students for careers in STEM, technical, and/or vocational fields in support of the bipartisan 2022 CHIPS and Science Act.

There have historically been limited study abroad opportunities for 欧美三级片 engineering students with only 1.4% participating in a study abroad experience annually, compared to an average of 4% of students across the university. During the 2023-2024 academic year, more than 1,500 欧美三级片 students participated in study abroad experiences in nearly 70 countries. This includes traditional programs, exchange opportunities with partner universities, internships, and research experiences. 欧美三级片 currently ranks 30th among public universities for student enrollment in study abroad according to .

This new study abroad opportunity is another avenue for highlighting 欧美三级片鈥檚 commitment to graduating highly skilled and globally competent...engineers who will contribute to America鈥檚 national security and economic prosperity.

鈥淭he fields of cybersecurity, AI and computing are evolving rapidly, and it is important for our students to be a part of this new frontier of knowledge generation,鈥 said Prasant Mohapatra, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs at 欧美三级片. 鈥淓ngineers are frequently called upon to address global challenges and collaborate with peers across borders. This new study abroad opportunity is another avenue for highlighting 欧美三级片鈥檚 commitment to graduating highly skilled and globally competent cybersecurity and AI engineers who will contribute to America鈥檚 national security and economic prosperity.鈥 

Earlier this year, 欧美三级片 announced its intention to establish a college focused on the rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and computing. 欧美三级片 is the first university in Florida, and among the first in the nation, to announce plans to create a college dedicated to AI and cybersecurity. This grant is aligned with 欧美三级片鈥檚 goal of contributing to key areas of societal need and opportunity; Croatia and the wider southeastern region of Europe are of geopolitical importance to the United States making the study abroad experience a unique learning opportunity for 欧美三级片 students. 

鈥溑访廊镀 is committed to preparing students to be successful in the global economy. A study abroad experience is proven to be one of the best ways for students to gain confidence, master adaptability, and learn how to forge solutions across diverse perspectives,鈥 said Kiki Caruson, vice president of 欧美三级片 World. 鈥淭he opportunity for 欧美三级片 engineering students to study in Croatia at Algebra University is sure to be a high-impact learning experience.鈥

As part of the IDEAS program, a delegation of 欧美三级片 faculty and academic advisors will travel to Algebra University to visit facilities and discuss program activities with their Croatian counterparts. The establishment of an engineering-specific study abroad program fulfills a 欧美三级片 World multi-year goal  of creating opportunities for future engineers to benefit from study abroad experiences. The program will be 欧美三级片鈥檚 first partnership with Algebra University 鈥 a private university that, similar to 欧美三级片, has forged deep partnerships with industry to develop applied, tech-focused programming and research opportunities to ensure students are ready to contribute to an ever-changing field of engineering.  

鈥淭he U.S. Department of State is proud to support U.S. colleges and universities as they build capacity for more American students to study abroad in diverse locations around the world,鈥 said Heidi Manley, chief of USA Study Abroad, a division of the U.S. Department of State. 鈥淚ncreasing the number of U.S. students with international experiences is part of our investment in ensuring that our country鈥檚 future leaders have the skills they need in fields ranging from global health to technology and innovation.鈥 

Since 2016, the IDEAS program has awarded grants to 205 higher education institutions to establish, expand and broaden their U.S. study abroad programs in nearly 100 countries. A full list of the recipients can be found .
