Lead a Group Abroad
Faculty-led study abroad programs are the most popular way for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students to gain valuable international experience. The Education Abroad office provides guidance and resources to assist faculty members in the development and administration of these high-impact programs. In addition to short-term programs, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ faculty can also lead semester-long experiences such as the London, Costa Rica, or Florence semester programs.
