Short-Term & Summer Programs
There are many opportunities for Winthrop University students to participate in short-term educational experiences abroad. These generally last between 1 week and 2 months in length and fall into two categories:
FACULTY LED PROGRAMS
Winthrop short-term study abroad courses are led by Winthrop faculty or staff members. Course content, study locations and dates vary from year to year. Students earn Winthrop academic credit. Some programs are for students only; others are open to students and their families. All participants are required to pay the published program fee.
