Faculty-Led Short-Term Study Away Programs are an excellent way for students to gain international experience during winter, spring, and summer breaks.  Participants earn university credit while learning the language and culture of another country, or by exploring natural habitats and resources related to their major. 

Study programs may range in length from two to six weeks and cover many different subjects. Many short-term programs include an orientation course that precedes the actual trip in order to prepare the students for cultural change.
