Short-term international programs lasting a few weeks or less deserve the same vetting, preparation, and planning associated with more traditional semester-long study abroad programs. Use this course to prepare students and staff for safe and rewarding educational experiences around the world.

Topics covered:

• Developing policies for program review and approval
• Preparing and orienting trip leaders and students prior to departure
• Managing the trip by monitoring participant activities, enforcing policies, and responding to emergency situations
• Evaluating the program to identify lessons learned and improve future trips

Employees at educational institutions with study abroad programs can benefit from this course.
