UMBC Faculty Teaching UMBC Courses

Take the journey of a lifetime and earn UMBC credits that count. The world becomes your campus when you join a study abroad program taught by UMBC’s own faculty. These short-term, faculty-led programs provide a global experience that meets UMBC graduation requirements, but doesn’t require a full semester abroad.

Faculty-led study abroad advantages:

• UMBC faculty teach UMBC classes
• Travel & learn with other UMBC students
• Most programs are 2–5 weeks
• Classes are fun and interactive
• Prearranged accommodations

Application Cycles:

• Summer: Applications open mid-November and close mid-February*
• Winter: Applications open mid-May and close Mid-October*

*Application deadlines may vary; please check under the “How to Apply” tab of each application.
