Faculty-led Short-Term Programs
Short-term programs usually range from two to four weeks, and you can earn three to six credits. One type of short-term program is faculty-led; these programs typically run during the summer and are academic classes led by professors who conduct each respective program. Updated information regarding program information and application deadlines will go out through university-wide announcements, be distributed at study abroad information tables, and can also be found on our study abroad Global Hub page.
