Faculty-Led Programs

Every year, Lamar University faculty members lead a variety of programs abroad. Faculty-led study abroad programs typically last from 1-3 weeks during the summer, winter break, and spring break terms. If you don’t see a program that fits your major or interests, we have many other short-term program options for summer and winter through USAC or CIS. Send an email to studyabroad@lamar.edu, and we’ll start exploring programs for you!
