Faculty-led Programs

Studying abroad during the Winter, Summer or Spring Break sessions is an excellent introduction to life in another country and also serves as an alternative to those who do not have the flexibility to participate in semester study abroad programs.

Every year the roster of short-term faculty-led study abroad programs may change and is announced over the summer and fall of the academic year. We will post a roster of 2020 Short Term Programs once program approvals are finalized.  

If you are interested, please contact or stop by the Spiegel Center for more information.
