CEFAM collaborates with universities and other groups, working within your budget and timeframe to put together an effective, personalized experience. For the Faculty-led blended option, the many General Education courses in its curriculum allow CEFAM to cater to diverse academic programs, in addition to its Business and international relations-focused curriculum.

Our Faculty-Led programs are short-term, group-based study-abroad programs that:

  • Range from 4 days to 6 months, offering flexibility based on academic needs
  • Fulfill specific course requirements at partner universities, often satisfying a goal area, major, or minor requirement
  • Bring together students from the same university, fostering collaboration and shared learning experiences
  • May or may not be led by Faculty from the partner institution
