Propose a New Program

Baylor University offers roughly 40 faculty-led study abroad programs in which one or more Baylor faculty members design, budget, recruit, and lead students through a summer (3-5 weeks; 1-2 courses) or winter (1-3 weeks; 1 course) summer study abroad experience.  If you are interested in partnering with the Center for Global Engagement to offer a new study abroad program, contact the Study Abroad Program Coordinator of Faculty-Led Programs.
