Want to study abroad but not sure about committing to a full semester? Curry’s short-term, faculty-led programs are the perfect way to experience the world while staying on track with your studies. These programs are led by Curry professors and take place during winter break, spring break, or summer, giving you the chance to travel with classmates and earn credit in just a few weeks.

Each program is built around a specific course, so you will dive deep into a subject while connecting what you learn in the classroom to real-world experiences abroad. Whether it is exploring history and culture, engaging with local communities, or seeing your field of study from a global perspective, faculty-led programs make learning come alive in exciting ways.

One of the best parts? You won’t be going alone. You will travel as part of a group of Curry students with the guidance of a faculty member who knows the destination and the course inside and out. It is a great way to see the world, build friendships, and learn in a supportive and structured environment.

These short-term programs are designed to be affordable, accessible, and flexible. They are a great first step into global learning and can spark your interest in even more international opportunities down the road.
