Faculty-Led Programs

Taking your classroom experience to the next level with a short-term study abroad experience.

Faculty-led programs offer a short-term study abroad experience that is organized and led by Cornell faculty. Generally speaking, a faculty-led program is an academic course that combines traditional classroom learning with experiential learning abroad. The experience abroad can be as short as one week or span over an entire summer.

For students who have never traveled internationally, these programs can be a good way to get one’s feet wet in a safe and supervised setting.
