Faculty-Led Travel Program FAQs

A faculty-led program is an academic or study abroad initiative that is planned and/or directed by faculty members of a college or university. These programs are often structured to offer students the chance to participate in hands-on learning, cultural immersion, and academics in a particular area of study.

In the context of study abroad, a faculty-led program typically involves professors or instructors leading a group of students to a foreign location for a defined period. The faculty members play a central role in structuring the curriculum, guiding students through coursework, and facilitating cultural activities or excursions.

Faculty-led programs can vary in duration, focus, and format. They are commonly offered during short-term breaks, such as summer or winter sessions, and may focus on a particular subject, research project, or cultural experience relevant to the academic discipline of the faculty leaders.

Yes, we are looking for a group minimum of 20 students for faculty-led programs.

The duration of short-term faculty-led programs can vary, but they typically last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. These programs are designed to provide students with an intensive and focused academic experience, often during breaks such as summer or winter sessions. Here are some common durations for short-term faculty-led programs:

  • Summer Programs: Many short-term faculty-led programs take place during the summer break and may last between 2 to 8 weeks. The shorter duration allows students to engage in academic coursework or research without committing to a full semester abroad.
  • Winter Programs: Some programs are offered during winter breaks, typically ranging from 2 to 4 weeks. These programs may focus on specific subjects, cultural experiences, or research projects.
  • “Maymester” Programs: In some cases, universities offer “Maymester” programs, which are short-term study abroad experiences during the month of May. These programs often last around 3 to 4 weeks.

The specific duration can vary depending on the educational institution, the goals of the program, and the academic content being covered. Short-term faculty-led programs are designed to provide students with valuable experiences in a condensed time frame, allowing them to gain exposure to different cultures, academic topics, and research opportunities.
