Faculty-led Programs - FLP

A Faculty-Led Program (FLP) is a short-term study abroad experience in which PBSC faculty members teach credit-bearing courses abroad. These programs integrate classroom instruction with experiential learning through activities, organized excursions, and cultural immersion, offering students a world-class education both on and off campus.

Key Features of Faculty-Led Programs:

  • Timing: Faculty-Led Programs can take place during PBSC’s designated Spring Break or the Summer Term.
  • Duration: Typically lasts 7 to 12 days in a group-based format.
  • Academic Integration: Students enroll in PBSC courses taught by PBSC faculty while participating in site visits, hands-on projects, and intercultural experiences.
  • Global Competency Development: These programs enhance students’ ability to analyze global issues, interact with diverse cultures, and gain real-world perspectives related to their field of study.
  • Accessibility & Inclusion: The Office of International Education collaborates with faculty and PBSC-approved vendors to design programs that are accessible, inclusive, and financially feasible for students.
