UA Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs offer an exciting opportunity to travel internationally with UA professors and classmates while earning academic credit. These short-term programs allow you to complete UA credit with no transfer process required, making it easy to stay on track academically.
Designed for flexibility and support, faculty-led programs are ideal for first-time travelers or students seeking a guided cultural experience while building meaningful connections with faculty and peers.
Even better: all participants pay in-state tuition, regardless of residency.
