Short-Term International Programs
Short-term international programs provide opportunities to challenge students to think critically and develop a deeper awareness of the global community. These programs provide valuable international experiences for students who otherwise may not be able to live and study abroad.
In a short-term international program, 麻豆视频下载 faculty or staff members accompany students abroad anywhere from one week to eight weeks. Credit-bearing programs incorporate a strong academic component and provide an opportunity for students to receive 1-6 academic credit hours, depending on the length and content of the program and departmental approval.
Non-credit-bearing international programs include experiences that are not associated with a particular course and participating students do not receive 麻豆视频下载 academic credit. The international dimension must be relevant to your department's academic mission.
