Make your summer or holiday break one to remember. With short term programs ranging from 1 to 6 weeks, you’re sure to find a program that fits into your schedule. No matter how long you stay, your time abroad will be an opportunity to gain a global perspective, develop new skills to enter your career field, and gain confidence and independence.
Faculty-Led Programs
Faculty-led programs are traditionally offered during semester breaks and the summer term. On a faculty-led program, you are traveling with UAB faculty and students and earning credit for a specific UAB course. These programs range from 1 to 6 weeks and are designed to be immersive and intensive.
Affiliate Programs
Choosing an affiliate program means opening yourself up to more destination options and additional opportunities like service-learning, internships, and additional scholarships. Students pay a comprehensive program fee rather than their UAB tuition. Short term affiliate programs are available through trusted third parties like WorldStrides, USAC, and CIS Abroad, and are typically offered during the summer term.

Non-Supported Programs
Have a particular university in mind not listed in our portfolio? Students may participate in programs outside our portfolio, but must gain approval from UAB Education Abroad before applying to the program. You must complete a Non-Supported Program application to request that Education Abroad evaluate your program of choice. Students will not be eligible for Financial Aid if the program is not approved by Education Abroad.
