Faculty-Led Programs
If your academic calendar does not permit you to study abroad during the fall or spring semester and/or you want to travel with a group of students, you may want to consider a short-term faculty-led program. The College offers a variety of faculty-led study abroad programs that typically last between one and three weeks, during May-term or spring break. Reoccurring faculty-led programs are offered annually or biennially. These short-term journeys usually focus on a particular interest or subject area. However, most are open to all students, regardless of your major. These cross-cultural experiences will enhance your education and may provide you with academic credit.
