Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs
HPU’s faculty-led study abroad courses provide students and faculty with opportunities to be immersed in cultures unlike their own. These short-term programs link classroom instruction with intentional travel led by HPU faculty members to provide students a connection between what they are learning in the classroom with the current events and cultural legacies that they encounter abroad.
HPU offers two unique types of faculty-led study abroad courses: Global Experience courses and Maymester courses.
Global Experience courses are semester-long (Fall or Spring) courses with an international travel component. All Global Experience courses are worth 4 credits. Travel takes place for 2 weeks at the end of the semester.
Maymester courses are month-long, self-contained, 4-credit courses generally taught entirely while abroad. Travel takes place in May and June.
