Faculty-Led Programs 2008
Each year, Clemson faculty members lead study abroad programs at locations around the world. You travel with CU faculty and take CU courses. The majority of these programs take place during spring break, Maymester, or a summer session. You are registered for CU courses and receive a grade for these courses just as you would if you were on campus. Costs include Clemson tuition and fees, a study abroad fee, and other additional program costs (for items such as airfare, meals, and accomodations) which vary by program.
The programs listed below are planned for 2008.
CLEMSON ABROAD 2008

Application must be made through the Office of International Affairs international programs-study abroad office. Programs are listed in chronological order from spring break through summer sessions. Within each time frame programs are listed alphabetically by country.
