Short-Term Travel Courses

These are Affordable Short-Term Study Away Options

We understand that for some, an entire semester abroad program may be a bit too long or too expensive, so we offer several popular less expensive, short-term travel courses.

These faculty-led global experiences are conveniently offered during May Term, Summer Session, and Winter Term.

Because the time away is much shorter, the cost is far less. However, the experience is priceless.

Some of the recent destinations for UMF short-term Travel Courses include:

  • Japan
  • Costa Rica
  • France
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Iceland
  • Ireland
  • New Mexico
