Faculty-Led Programs Summary Page

Faculty-Led study abroad programs are UA-sponsored programs led by a UA faculty member. Faculty-Led programs are most often short-term summer programs, usually lasting between 3-6 weeks. During that time, students can earn anywhere from 1-12 credit hours of UA courses—not transfer credit! Because Faculty-Led programs are short-term and led by UA faculty, this type of program is great for anyone who has never been abroad before, those looking to earn UA credit, or anyone who’d like to travel with fellow UA students. An additional perk: the tuition for every faculty-led program is charged at the in-state rate no matter your residency status!

If you are a faculty member looking to start a new program – visit the Propose a Faculty-led Program page or and set up an appointment with Dr. Carolina Robinson and/or Samantha Young.

Faculty-Led Programs by College

Below is a listing for the 2024 – 2025 faculty led programs. Please note, these are “proposed” programs and determination of availability are dependent on approval, faculty availability, and meeting enrollment goals.

*Note: Students can participate on programs that are outside their own college! These programs are sorted by the college in which the faculty director teaches, but that does not mean the program is limited to students in that college. (C&IS students are welcome to participate on A&S programs, Engineering students are welcome to participate in HES programs, etc.)
