Summer & Faculty-Led Programs

If you want to have an international experience with a shorter duration, we encourage you to explore summer, faculty-led and embedded program options! Short-term program cost is a set program fee and varies by program. Program fees may include housing, tuition, insurance, and excursions. Faculty-led and summer program offerings vary each year and are subject to change. Program offerings are usually announced at the beginning of fall semester, for the following summer.
