Faculty-Led Summer & Winter Programs

The Arts & Sciences International Studies Advisory Committee (ISAC) and the Global Education Office (GEO) at the Reves Center for International Studies solicit faculty applications to direct regularly-offered summer and winter break study abroad programs. Applications are accepted in the fall for winter programs in the subsequent academic year and every spring semester for the summer of the following year. Courses should be linked to the local or regional setting of the program, but are not generally restricted to any given discipline although programs may have specific themes and features.
