Abstract

This article is meant to serve as a guide for developing a short-term (typically 2 to 3 weeks long) faculty-led study abroad program. I will focus solely on my work in Stockholm, Sweden during summer 2023. This article will be particularly helpful to faculty members who are new to developing their own study abroad programs. I have six suggested steps for developing a successful faculty-led program. These six steps include:

  1. thinking about what you want for students and your own career;

  2. building on-campus partnerships;

  3. Recruiting and supporting students as early as possible;

  4. making the program itinerary interactive and rewarding for your students;

  5. preparing students for international travel;

  6. reflecting at the conclusion of the program while continuing to build long-term relationships with global partners.
