The GSSP is a university-level academic program designed to support international students as they adjust to life in the United States. By providing additional academic, social, and cultural support during the first year, GSSP staff and faculty help students build a strong foundation that supports their future success.

Undergraduate students qualify for a two- or three-semester GSSP depending on their academic qualifications and English proficiency. Upon successful completion of the GSSP, students move into the second year of their chosen degree program. Since the Undergraduate GSSP is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor?s degree, students are still on track to graduate in a total of four years. Graduate students will enroll in a two-semester GSSP and complete nine graduate credits during the program. These nine credits are applied toward the graduate program of choice. Most graduate GSSP students complete their degree in a total of two or two-and-a-half years.

Florida Atlantic University has over 300 student clubs and organizations. There are clubs for every interest. Some popular clubs are the Pulse Dance Troupe, Surf Club, Asian Student Union, Muslim Student Association and Table Tennis Club.
