Abroad Programs document can be viewed and printed through Adobe Acrobat Reader. Abroad Programs are courses or groups of courses led by WVU faculty. They range in duration from week-long foreign study tours to activities that can encompass a full schedule of courses lasting for an entire semester. Most WVU Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs are conducted during a summer session. For this kind of program, the student registers and pays for a WVU course or courses and receives the grade directly from a WVU faculty member who accompanies the class abroad.
Some courses combine elements of both program models.
Most WVU Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs are administered through the WVU Extended Learning Office and the Office of International Programs. In March 2000, the WVU Guidelines for Study Abroad Programs was approved as official WVU policy. These guidelines identify the different types of study abroad programs and assign specific policies to each. It is intended to help you navigate when planning a new or established faculty-led study abroad program. We appreciate their hard work and the committee's assistance.
