England and Scotland: Traveling the Gothic
Faculty Led
Faculty-lef programs are usually short-term programs (a few weeks or a month) and often offered in the May mini-semester. Faculty-led programs are an excellent Study Abroad experience for most students. They are shorter and less intimidating than an entire semester abroad by yourself, but they still offer all the benefits of traveling. You also get an opportunity to get to know your professor better and learn more about their research and travel interests, as well as meeting JSU students you might not have had a chance to meet before.
JSU's International Travel Risk Committee will review these destinations and have a final recommendation on the travel 45 days before the travel dates. Participants-students and faculty leaders are responsible to understand the cancellation and refune policies of the providers. In the event the program gets cancelled for the safety and health of the participants, the participants will be responsible for any financial losses.
