UCI Faculty Led Programs

The Study Abroad Center is excited to support faculty and departments in the development and coordination of faculty-led programs abroad. Below you’ll find some examples of the successful collaboration between the Study Abroad Center and our valued campus partners in the entire process of offering a program abroad.

Why Choose a  Faculty Led Program?

  1. It’s an excellent opportunity for experiencing a one-on-one interaction with UCI faculty.
  2. Most participants are other UCI students, and the number of participants is limited, creating a small cohort feeling.
  3. Continue engaging in extracurricular activities without embarking in long-term study abroad programs.
  4. Financial aid and scholarships are available for some of these programs.
  5. Program details, such as location, dates, courses, cost, eligibility, etc., are diverse to meet your personal needs and professional goals.
  6. The UCI Study Abroad Center will provide with logistical support before & throughout the program.
