Faculty-led courses usually count for 3 credits and require no transfer of credit. Faculty-led study abroad courses are held during Spring Break, after graduation in May or over the summer. They range from one week long to 3 weeks long. Each faculty-led program is unique but tend to meet on campus before the trip, and once or twice after returning from traveling.
The Office of International Education plans faculty-led programs years in advance. We want students to be able to plan for a faculty-led program (or multiple) that work well with their academic, professional and personal goals! To connect with study abroad alumni, please email inthelp@fitchburgstate.edu to hear firsthand student's experiences abroad.
Students should first apply to their faculty-led program of choice below and then apply to EITHER the Global Ambassador Scholarship or Center for Italian Culture Scholarship (CIC) in October or January on Academic Works. The Center for Italian Culture at Fitchburg State University has supported students studying abroad in Italy for 20+ years. We are grateful for their continued support in sending hundreds of falcons to Italy for their study abroad courses.
