Short-Term Faculty-Led Program
Global Program Development is now accepting proposals from faculty interested in leading a short-term study abroad program in Spring break or Summer of 2021. The deadline for proposal submission is Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020.
Faculty-led short-term study programs enrich Webster’s curriculum by taking learning to new dimensions outside the classroom. Faculty can propose to lead a group of students on an international immersion experience for academic credit. The learning experiences afforded by these programs helps support the University’s mission of transforming students for global citizenship and individual excellence.
Generally, these immersion experiences are a component of a longer term or semester course. Various program models exist for these hybrid courses, including teaching the course online, so that students from across the Webster University worldwide campus network can participate and meet on-the-ground for the immersion experience.
