Our short-term programs include 3-6 weeks courses taught at various foreign destinations and campus-based courses with an embedded 7-10 days study tour. The programs cover several disciplines: Art History, Business, Economics, Education, History, Italian, French, Medieval Studies, Political Science, Spanish, Theater, Theology, Urban Studies, Visual Arts. All study abroad courses seek to maximize the unique curriculum opportunities a given destination offers both faculty and students.
